The best place to put your driver is next to the dbcp jar.
It's a strange error message, but that's normal with classloader issues ;-)

is anyone familiar with this exception. i found some threads discussing this but did not understand. my situation is that the i am using tomcat 5.0.12+mysql+ data source configured on tomcat in my application scope.
at first i did not have the connector-j (driver) jar anywhere. i got a good message stating "Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql....'" now, i have the connector-j in my web-inf\lib and i get this which is slightly different. due to the fact that the message is different i fear that the driver was loaded and that this is another problem. i know this jar should be in the common/lib but due to a shared hosting environment i am trying other places to put it first. can this be a problem caused by the fact that the jar is not on the common/lib? how come the message changed when i put the jar is the web-inf/lib? thanks in advance.
