Thanks, It appears that the problem only occurs when I get my database connection from a JNDI datasource as described in server.xml. I am going to try using Jakarta DBCP for my connection pooling instead.
The class that was not being found was in the same package as the class that was calling it (in the Web-Inf\classes\...). So I don't know what the heck's going on there. Since I was using the JNDI resource, my db driver jar was in the common\lib . I tried moving my classes there , but still got a ClassCastException. The user that starts the service is the same as the launcher of the batch file. JAVA_HOME was the same. Hopefully Jakarta DBCP will save me. Thanks for the suggestions from u and ope. --- "Cox, Charlie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > tomcat 4.x does not use the classpath unless you > have modified catalina.bat > to do so.
