I think you must create META-INF/context.xml like this;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>

    <!-- Default set of monitored resources -->
    <WatchedResource>WEB-INF/web.xml</WatchedResource>

 <Resource  name="jdbc/TestDB" 
            username="xxxx" 
            password="xxxxxxxxxx" 
            driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
            url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/TestDB"
            auth="Container" 
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
            maxActive="100" 
            maxIdle="30" 
            maxWait="10000"
            initialSize="1"/>
</Context>

Beside that you can look this question and this for help.
