Extract your JDBC logic from your JSP (here's one of the many advantages to Model 2 architecture, that logic would already be separated and you could drive it via a main method outside of Tomcat) and run it as a standard Java app. I always test my database code in this manner in all the classes I deploy on Tomcat. I have been using PostgreSQL and saw a similar message to the one on your original request for help, which is why I responded. However, copying the relevant JDBC jars from my database install into common/lib solved my problem. You might also try putting the jar in WEB-INF/lib inside of your web application, that's the next place I would think to try. Thomas -- "I never drink beer before Noon.
