Subject: jdbc driver location in TC 7
Where is the recommended location for jdbc driver jars in TC7,
when I'm using separate CATALINA_HOME and CATALINA_BASE locations?
If you look in conf/catalina.properties, you'll see the order in which the 
common loader searches directories.

If it makes a difference, I am not using tomcat's connection
pooling; it's handled in my app.
That's a critical difference.

I generally would prefer to put it in my webapp's lib directory
That is the correct location, since Tomcat is not involved.
Great; thanks for confirming.

Hi, David-

I prefer the web app's lib directory as well but when I place the JDBC driver 
there, a memory leak detection error is logged when I stop Tomcat.  Not a big 
deal but I'd prefer not to have to explain.  When I move the JDBC driver to the 
Tomcat lib directory, the error is no longer logged.  (Tomcat 6)
Even better would be to fix your probable connection leak.  I had some too, 
when I went to a version that had the leak detection, but was able to fix them 
all.

Yup. Just deregister the DB driver on app stop using a ServletContexListener.

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Wouldn't I see a connection leak no matter where I placed the driver? De-registering the driver may do the trick.
