Database: DB2 v7 OS390 Server: DB2 Connect v9, Tomcat 6.0.14, Java 1.6 Issue: LoginModule unable to load driver; raises SQLException "No suitable driver found"
Connection String: jdbc:db2:blah Driver: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver I am developing a custom JAAS LoginModule to go against a database for authorization information. Each web application will have a JAAS realm declared within its Context. While developing the LoginModule, I am halted by an issue using the DB2Java library provided by IBM in Tomcat. Whenever the LoginModule is invoked and attempts to create a connection, it throws a SQLException of "No suitable driver found for ...". To test whether this was a DB2 Connect issue or not, I wrote a simply Java program that doesn't run in Tomcat to load the driver and create a connection to the server using the CLI settings the Tomcat code is using. It ran successfully. I also ran my unit test in Eclipse, which used the same exact settings, and it too performed successfully. There is an issue with Tomcat somehow, but I am unable to determine what. The DB2java.jar was placed within Tomcat's lib directory, which is handled by the common loader.
