HI,

Iam doingfollowing steps

1. Adding following dependency in main pom.xml  
  
mysql  
mysql-connector-java  
8.0.20  

2. updating conf/context.xml & conf/context-mysql.xml with respective values (hardcoded)  

3. Now doing docker build to create the new docker Images and to generate new war files.

> docker.build

1. Now Deploying those docker images in kuberneter cluster. and when I login and check container logs Tomcat catalina logs throing error  
“Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver”

Do I need to add mysql dependency in any other pom.xml?
