I was under the impression that you put Jar's in the %CATALINA%\lib folder and class files in the %CATALINA%\classes folder. The documentation does not talk about zip files. So my recommendation would be to extract all your classes into the %CATALINA%\classes folder and go from there.
Here's a link to the documentation http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/class-loader-howto.html -Andrew -----Original Message----- From: slickdev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 9:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: tomcat won't load oracle driver I have Tomcat 3.3 and cannot get any web apps to recognize the oracle jdbc drivers, which are contained in an oracle file named classes111.zip. I am confident of the oracle installation, as I can successfully run queries from command line java programs, using the same class file and driver. The system out always indicates that tomcat cannot find the oracle driver. Predictably, I have already tried moving the oracle class file among many directories under %TOMCAT_HOME%, including lib, apps, common, container, and of course, I have also placed it at various locations within the web-app\<application> directory sub-dirs. I always restart tomcat after moving the class file. Nothing works. Tomcat cannot or *will* not find my oracle class file. Advice appreciated!
