hay Noel,
no I have not tried this. I thought about, but this would mean that the
classloader does not support .zip files anymore. And I have not heard about
any change like this.
But it's still a good idea. I will give it a try and report results.
thx
roman

Hi, Roman
Just a thought, but have you tried RENAMING the file db2java.zip to
db2java.jar?
