Hello Charles, The difference between putting your Oracle driver .jar in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib and $TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib is that in common/lib, both the container and your webapps see the driver where as in plain old "lib" (shared/lib in Tomcat-4.1.x), only your apps see the driver library.
If you are using your own pooling that doesn't involve something like DBCP which the container, as well as your webapps, needs access to, then you are fine putting in in $TOMCAT_HOME/lib. Otherwise, when using DBCP or something container specified like that, then you need it in $TOMCAT_HOME/commonlib. Not sure why the newer driver isn't being loaded though?
