Bug reference: 3544
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.9
Operating system: Debian Linux (2.6.18-4-486)
Description:SQLException from JDBC driver
Details:
I have installed PostgreSQL 8.1 via the Debian package manager (APT) --
installed the package postgresql-8.1.
We are running Sun Java 5, Apache 2, and Tomcat 5.5.
From the discussion at http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html, I have
determined that I should be using the 8.1-410 JDBC 3 driver.
I downloaded the driver, and it is bundled into my servlet's war file in
WEB-INF/lib.
When the servlet makes the DriverManager.getConnection() call, the following
exception is thrown:
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: Something unusual has occured to cause
the driver to fail. Please report this exception.
This exception is most likely caused by a permission denied error because
you are running the tomcat server with a security policy. The driver
should be placed in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib instead of a war file.
