Hi there, I am using Tomcat with jdk122 on win 2000.I use MS ACcess and to communicate with that I use the SUn jdbc-odbc bridge.The problem i'm facing off late is that Tomcat crashes even though I close my connecitons with the st.close() and con.close() statements. Are there any better odbc drivers bcos i heard that sun itself doesnt endorse its jdbc-odbc bridge too much.Or am i facing a problem which i do not know?
