Good news. Good news. Problem solved. For some reason when I run tomcat as a NT service, I am getting TNS: protocol adaptor error. Just today I started tomcat as a stand alone application, manually.... bingo! it worked. I went back and started tomcat service as an administrator but still gave the same error. I stopped the service and run the application as stand alone. This time I see no error. I could query the database through my JSPs and JavaBeans. I modified wrapper.properties file to contain correct entries. But still gave me same problem.
I do have Oracle client on the workstation. I could able to log on through SQL*Plus client. I was able to run a simple Java application from the command prompt and get connected to the database but some how I was bailing out when I execute the same code through JSP. So, for right now I will run Tomcat as stand alone application and NOT as a NT service. Thank you for all your help.

It works the same on linux and Windows, and is a free download, so it is not a BIG deal, just an extra step. If you are running tomcat as a service, you also have to tell it where to find the dll (on windows). Not sure about linux setup. The thin driver is sure easier, but you just cannot argue with the performance, I was SHOCKED.
