I had this same problem. Is your connection pool in the servlets directory?
If it is, take it out and put it in a directory that is in your classpath.

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried this, by storing the connectionpool reference
in the servlet context. (using setAttribute())
But when I try to access it from another servlet, (using
the getAttribute() method) I am getting a ClassCastException! Why is
this?
Can you please explain how you are storing and retrieving the object
from
the ServletContext?
Thanks
Sajesh
