Solution 1

No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mazedb

This exception has basically 2 possible causes.

The JDBC URL is wrong (basically, Driver#acceptsURL() has returned false for all of the JDBC drivers loaded so far).
The JDBC driver is not loaded at all (so it's either missing in the runtime classpath or there's a typo in the JDBC driver class name).

As far, the JDBC URL and driver class name looks right. So the driver is not in the runtime classpath at all.

The mysql connector is included in the build path

The JDBC driver needs to be present in the webapp's runtime classpath. In case of a local persistence unit, the JDBC driver JAR file needs to be placed in /WEB-INF/lib folder.

This exception indicates that this is not the case. Placing the JAR file in some random location and manually adding the file to the Build Path without specifying it in the Deployment Assembly can lead to this exception. This is not right. Just drop the JAR file in the /WEB-INF/lib folder, this way Eclipse will do all the necessary magic to set the things right without the need to touch anything in the project's properties.

Unrelated to the concrete problem, consider container managed transactions (set transaction type to JTA instead of resource local). It will greatly reduce boilerplate code in your EJBs to manage the transactions. You only need to create a container managed JNDI datasource and place the JDBC driver in server's /lib instead.

Solution 2

Is this running on a server? Do you have the mysql database driver jar file in your project?

Here is what my driver setup looks like in eclipse. You get to this screen through the database perspective and add a new datasource. You include the driver jar file so it knows where to find the driver. If this is on a server, put the jar file in your lib or deploy folder so it can find the driver.

I tried it your way but it throws the same error: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mazedb

I created a ConnectionPoolDataSource on Glassfish3 and placed the connector in Glassfish's lib. Now it seems to work fine. Is this the right way to do it? What happens when I'll run my application in another web container knowing that maybe that one won't have the same settings?

You just have to configure a datasource with the same JNDI name in the other container (or to make the JNDI name externally configurable as environment variable). It doesn't really matter what kind of datasource exactly it is, as long as it supports connection pooling and JTA transactions (all Java EE 6 containers do).
