Just tryed it... didn't work... I switched the Class.forName() for the new method u described... it gives me the exact problem... driver not found.... the class that is trying to acess the oracle driver is called DAOFundos located in "$CATALINA_HOME/classes", the oracle driver (classes12.jar) is located in $CATALINA_HOME/lib I can't get it to work... .:| Christian J.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31/05/02 11:35 >>> yes... I'm using Class.forName()... but now, I can get NO classes.. not even finep classes are found... I tried placing them in ALL the four possibilities: unpacked in /classes and /common/classes and packed as jar in /lib and /common/lib it seems to me that the ClassLoader are completely crazy... It only works if I place everything in the webapp... .:| Christian J.

You should be using Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(String aClassName); That will find your Oracle Driver across multiple classloaders. It is the Java2 way of loading classes and necessary in an environment like Tomcat with its multiple classloaders. Jake At 09:22 AM 5/31/2002 -0300, you wrote: >Why can't I get this right?
