I enountered the same problem,
First, i put a hack with the reflect API (class Method, method invoke).
In a second time , i found the problem : the javax.servlet package used is
differerent when i compiled and when i run tomcat, so the signature of the
class is not the same and this explain the Cast problem.
Be sure that the jdbc2-ext.jar is take when you compile, normaly you are not
oblige to declare in your CLASSPATH the jar of the jdbc provider.
