This is a standard class that comes with the Sun JRE. There is no need
for any additional JAR files.

The OP is using a JDBC realm, not configuring a DataSource. Don't
complicate things, here.

I would advise the OP to check online for how to connect Java to Access
in general before adding Tomcat into the mix. Using MS Access requires
you to setup an ODBC DataSource in Windows. Have you done that? Is it
called "Auth"? The connection URL was "jdbc:odbc:Auth", so it should be.

I've never used Access with Java (or by itself, for that matter), but
I've seen connection URLs like this, too:

"jdbc:odbc:;DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb);
                                DBQ=D:\\path_to_db\db.mdb;PWD=mypass"

This appears to define it's own data source instead of requiring you to
create one in the control panel.
