If you put the Oracle drivers archive file (classes12.zip) in the lib
directory ( /path/to/tomcat/lib ) it will be automatically loaded for
you when tomcat starts up. You don't have to specify it in the
classpath.
You can put your JDBC connect string, driver, username and password
into the web.xml file as context-params similar to this:
<context-param>
<param-name>data.driver</param-name>
<param-value>org.postgresql.Driver</param-value>
<description>Database JDBC driver</description>
</context-param>
Then they will be available from the application scope like this:
String driver = application.getInitParameter("data.driver");
Not sure which version of the drivers you are using, but I think the
number after classes in the filename is the java version supported, so:
classes111.zip -> Java 1.1
classes12.zip -> Java 1.2
