Thanks for the idea Sean. I tried putting the jar file under my WEB-INF\lib directory but get the same error. If I then try to delete this file with TC running I can't because TC has locked it, so this would indicate that TC thinks it found something it likes!

The driver is com.ibm.db2j.jdbc.DB2jDriver and this class is present in the relevant jar file which is in CLASSPATH. My web.xml file contains the following: <init-param> <param-name>driver</param-name> <param-value>com.ibm.db2j.jdbc.DB2jDriver</param-value> </init-param> and my servlet attempts to load it thus: String driver = getServletConfig().getInitParameter("driver"); if (driver == null) { throw new UnavailableException("Driver not specified."); } try { Class.forName(driver); } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) { throw new UnavailableException("Driver <" + driver + "> not found in the classpath."); } The ClassNotFoundException is thrown when the servlet is called. Any ideas?
