I'm not sure about that but it seems default process engine configuration doesn't see you mysql configuration, as user guide says:

ProcessEngine processEngine = ProcessEngines.getDefaultProcessEngine()
This will look for an activiti.cfg.xml file on the classpath and construct an engine based on the configuration in that file.

You are using Spring so you need to get process engine that way. You can look at spring support.

can you please elaborate where I have to put the activiti.cfg.xml file.

Whether I have to put in the apache-tomcat-6.0.30\webapps\activiti-explorer\WEB-INF\classes ?

And also can please put the activiti.cfg.xml file here.

And one more thing, why it is taking configuration from batis ?

1. Create a maven project.
2. Put activiti.cfg.xml OR your spring config file to the resources. You can find both way of doing this in examples in Activiti.
3. You are good to go.
4. About ibatis, creators of Activiti can answer this.

The default datasource is an iBatis version. It gets the jdbc-parameters passed through from the process-engine configuration, which is defined in the spring-context file or activiti.cfg.xml file you're using.
