If the problem still persists,

Put the- mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin jar in a place inside your Tomcat->lib->folder (No matter where you've installed your Tomcat). And change your environmental variable (Done by clicking Properties of Mycomputer -Advanced system settings- Environmental variables-And set a new variable name & variable values as the place where your lib file resides.Dont forget to enter a ; at the end of the path)

If still problem persists Try downloading commons-collections-2.0.jar (http://www.docjar.com/jar_detail/commons-collections-2.0.jar.html) and paste the jar in the same place where your mysql jar resides (ie) inside Tomcat-lib.

Clean your project-Stop your server- Finally try to run.
