I found a "BIGHAMMER" approach earlier today, I put copies of my jdbc drivers in the Tomcat/common/lib folder But and I quote "If you have only one web-app that references this driver, you should put it in WEB-INF/lib. This allows for better maintenance and management of your libraries and dependencies. To reference/load the driver classname, you could use a parameter entry in the web.xml file... You could even have a startup servlet to load the driver in DriverManager and/or have it available through some lookup system such as a JNDI service.
I think this is cleaner than having it in Tomcat/common/lib UNLESS you want those drivers to be available for all web-apps you create." There was a small thread on this today under "Where to place JDBC Drivers? How?" -----Original Message----- From: Jovie Castaneda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 10:08 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: Prob Loading DB Driver Hi All, im encountering problems in Tomcat 4 when Im loading my database driver.
