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.
