Just an addition to Randy's mail:
Obviously the following line assigns a null value
to driverClassName:
String driverClassName =
config.getInitParameter("driverClassName");
So in first place your servlet doesn't fail because
it can't find the driver. It fails because the
driverClassName is null.
That's the reason for Randy's remarks.
