You can set TOMCAT_OPTS in your environment, and tomcat will use them as part of it's startup env. When I added the classes12.zip to my TC environment, I just added it directly to the tomcat.sh as well, and it works fine.
Why don't you put together a small test program that loads the driver, and just run it in Java and see if it works? If it works, then you know it's not the driver. jchuang ----- Original Message ----- From: "Noble Long" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2001 7:58 AM Subject: Re: cannot execute binary file > I actually added it to the tomcat.sh (dirty I know) but I wanted to make > sure it was definitely loaded.
