Take a look at the Tomcat 3.3 User's Guide section on configuring classes and their scope:

I think i have put the driver files in a wrong place. When i run the code which looks like this: private String myDriver ="com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver"; ... ... ... ... try{ Class.forName(myDriver).newInstance(); } catch(Exception e){ throw new InstantiationException("Unable to load myDriver:"+e.toString()); } I am getting this error below: Exception java.lang.InstantiationException: Unable to load myDriver:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver I am using tomcat 3.3 here... Can some one suggest me where i have to include the driver files to make it work... And the environment variable CLASSPATH =C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3\lib\common\servlet.jar;C:\jakarta-tomcat-3.3\webapps\ examples\WEB-INF\classes;C:\Program Files\Sybase\SQL Anywhere 7\java\jdbcdrv.zip;c:\Program Files\Sybase\jConnect\classes\jconn2.jar Thanks Praveen =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
