RE: Prob Loading DB Driver
If drivers end in .zip ? try renaming to .jar .. on Unix platforms the ant and catalina scripts only add *.jar files to the classpaths.

This allows for better maintenance and management of your libraries and dependencies. To reference/load the driver classname, you could use a parameter entry in the web.xml file... You could even have a startup servlet to load the driver in DriverManager and/or have it available through some lookup system such as a JNDI service. I think this is cleaner than having it in Tomcat/common/lib UNLESS you want those drivers to be available for all web-apps you create.
