I just thought of another solution. Place the driver jar in a shared lib
directory of your application server. For tomcat this is shared/lib if I
remember correctly.
The advantages of this method are that you don't have a copy of the driver
in each and every webapp on the server, and that your jetspeed project
doesn't have to 'know' what database it is using. Also, this way you don't
have to modify project.xml...
