You don't have to copy the jar into the lib directory. You can also add
a new <library> tag to the application.xml config file. This is fairly well
documented in the mailist list archive as well as the config files themself.
For example, here's a snippet of my application.xml config that utilizes
Oracle:
<orion-application>
...
<!-- Path to the libraries that are installed on this server.
These will accesible for the servlets, EJBs etc -->
<library path="../lib" />
<library
path="/usr/local/oracle/8i/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/jdbc/lib/classes12.z
ip" />
...
</orion-application>
Note that the xml comment is part of the default config.
