Chuck, thank you for your prompt feedback. I have a couple of follow-up questions below: >> 3) Deploy the JDBC jars and commons-dbcp.jar in the WAR in >> WEB-INF/lib?> > >Yes.
Great, that's what'll do. But is there anything one must be careful about in this case? For example should a particular version of DBCP be used for a given version of Tomcat? >> Question: if you cannot place the JDBC driver jars in >> CATALINA_HOME/commons/lib, where can you put them? >> >> 1) Place the JDBC jars in $CATALINA_BASE/jdbc and modify the start-up >> script to include these jars on the CLASSPATH? >> 2) Deploy the JDBC jars in the WAR file (e.g. WEB-INF/lib/jdbc) and >> modify the start-up script to include these jar on the CLASSPATH? > >NEVER, NEVER, NEVER set CLASSPATH for use with Tomcat. Although I know this to be a bad idea; I've seen many post telling users NOT to change the CP, however I want to be able to justify why this shouldn't be done (convince ops folks). Do you know of any documented discussion (the classpath how-to doesn't seem to address this).
