Matt,
Just a note: as you seem to be just getting started with everything,
might I make the bold recommendation that you avoid doing any database
work from JSPs?
Databases are notoriously finicky when it comes to resource management

This isn't a JDBC error as much as it's a taglib error. You are trying
to use JSTL taglibs in your web application and tomcat can't find the
libraries that contain the taglib. Things to check:
1. standard.jar and jstl.jar are in the webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory
-- at least for jstl 1.1.
Thanks - it was the first - I just had the files in the WEB-INF
directory - not in the lib
Is there some method for finding errors / logs? Right now, I'm trying
to get an application running, and I'm just guessing. For example, my
catalina.log file says
INFO: The listener

The above is a cosmetic error in 6.0.16; it does no damage
Matt,
If you don't find anything suggestive in the logs, try running with a
debugger and put a breakpoint
on the first statement in the contextInitialized method in your
AppListener to try to track down
why it's dying (i.e., what's causing SEVERE: Error listenerStart).
Then start
