I am still struggling to make Vaadin application work on Tomcat. After taking care of one problem described in
Vaadin application deployed to tomcat can't start I am getting another exception that has no relation to my code. I do not have any DataSources defined in my code. All the data I am getting through the REST API calls. Nevertheless, Tomcat won't run my war file and the following exception appears in the catalina.out file:

As there is no mentioning of any of my classes, I do not know even where to look for problem. When I was running this application as a JAR file from IDE I didn't have this problem and everything was working. I even added MySQL JDBC driver to the Tomcat /lib directory, but it didn't change a thing.
Can someone please tell me what else I can do to make it working on Tomcat?
DataSourceProperties.determineDriverClassName()it seems like that it is not possible to determine the driver based on the configured jdbc url, more than a missing jar issue. How do you configure the jdbc url in your application? If you do not specify anything, Spring Boot tries to set up an embedded db if any is present on classpath. But perhaps you need to configure the datasource in the application properties file Take a look here, for example: vaadin.com/docs/latest/integrations/databases/mysql
