Hi John, >From the functional specs on http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers, EasySoft's driver does not support DataSources!
>From Tomcat 4 documentation, it appears as you need to have a jar file (physical copy) of the driver placed in common/lib directory in order for Tomcat to set its classpath. Is this the case for built in generic drivers also, such as sun.jdbc.odbc. I'm getting the error ' Driver not found in the classpath.' when I try DataSource mechanism.
