make sure that the class that you are using for the forName([class name])
method is in your classpath.
(not so much a JSP question by the way, but hope this helps)

Subject: JDBC connection
Hello. I have the following code for connecting to the jdbc:odbc pool.
While compiling the Java code, I keep getting an "ClassNotFoundException" in
Class.forName.
I also tried declaring Class T and have T.forName. I get the similar error
for "T.forName". How can I get this to work?
Thank you for your help.
Sharon
