Amrinder,
answer 1) The DB driver is part of the zip file. The zip file I have is an
uncompressed archive. I have also put this same file in the "path" as a *.jar
file and I have also unziped and placed the classes directly into the "path".
answer 2) I get NO exceptions caught in the catch clause.
This definitely seems like it is a path issue. The big question that is still
-- what _is_ the "correct path?" Do the *.jar/classes need to be in more that
one location as they do if you are using JSP with Beans. Will Tomcat search for
class/jar files in any location that is NOT in the CLASSPATH?
