The catalina error is "Error filterStart" (not very helpful)

In roller.log I get

RollerContext:upgradeDatabaseIfNeeded - 
org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class 
'' for connect URL 'null'

I'm connecting to Oracle9i and my classes12.jar is in common/lib. My 
roller-custom.properties file is found and loaded. I have a roller.xml file in 
conf/Standalone/hostname/ which is where my tomcat looks for contexts, that 
looks like

<Context path="/roller"
  docBase="/path-to/roller" debug="0">

        <Resource auth="Container"
         
connectionProperties="autoReconnect=true&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=utf-8&amp;mysqlEncoding=utf8"
         driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
         maxActive="50"
         maxIdle="3"
         maxWait="3000"
         name="jdbc/rollerdb"
         password="passwrd"
         removeAbandoned="true"
         type="javax.sql.DataSource"
         url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@dburl"
         username="username"/>
