RE: How to use jar files from CLASSPATH
Howdy, What you should really do is get a DB2 JDBC pure java driver -- they're out there (multiple vendors, some free some not) and perform just as well as type 1 or type 2 drivers. Then put this driver's jar file in WEB-INF/lib. But if you can't do the above, hack tomcat's startup scripts to append $CLASSPATH to its own classpath. If you look at $CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh, it's easy enough.

RE: How to use jar files from CLASSPATH
tomcat doesn't use the classpath. You can copy your jar into /common/lib and it will be shared by all your webapps. see the classloader doc: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/class-loader-howto.html Charlie -Original Message- From: Zsolt Koppany [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 1:17 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: How to use jar files from CLASSPATH Hi, my application has to use DB2 JDBC that is in the CLASSPATH.
