Internal Servlet Error - unable to connect to database

           Summary: Internal Servlet Error - unable to connect to database
           Product: Tomcat 3
           Version: 3.2.2 Final
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://nimitz.ncdc.noaa.gov:8081/servlet/TestPur (behind
                    firewall)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other

I am running tomcat on port 8081; all servlets work fine.  I have other servlets
running w/ jserv/httpd; these all work fine too. According to the server.xml
file, the RequestInterceptor can be set to allow backwards compatiblity w/ 
the older servlets running w/ jserv.  This works except for servlets which
make a database connection.  I get the following error:

Error: 500
Location: /servlet/TestPur
Internal Servlet Error:
