Unable to connect tomcat container to mysql databa

Please don't mark this as duplicate.I have made some changes this time.Believe me, I have tried other answers and they don't seem to solve my issue.I am unable to link tomcat container with my MySQL database container in kubernetes.

Built my tomcat image using this dockerfile

FROM picoded/tomcat7
COPY data-core-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/data-core-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war

        persistentVolumeClaim:
          claimName: tomcat-pv-claim

I have specified all the environment variables including the MySQL service name in the Tomcat deployment needed for connecting them.Also made sure to create persistent volumes and claims for both the containers.Yet my war file still wont start in tomcat's manager app.

Are my yaml files correct or is there still some changes to be made??
