Cause
Some Tomcat versions (usually when bundled from some Linux distributions) do not have the naming-factory-dbcp.jar file in the library.
Resolution
Download the version-appropriate Tomcat binary distribution from Apache's website, and copy the naming-factory-dbcp.jar file from <tomcat>/common/lib/ (Tomcat 5.x) or <tomcat>/lib (Tomcat 6.x) into the directory of the same name.
