Are you attempting to use the classes in tomcat-dbcp.jar directly? Or,
do you just mean that you are using a JNDI DataSource set up in your
<Context> element, and so Tomcat is using tomcat-dbcp.jar?

Good, if you are letting Tomcat configure your DataSource.

Well, if you expect to use commons-dbcp directly, then this is
probably what you should do. If you are just using Tomcat's JNDI
DataSource, then you don't need this library anywhere at all.

CATALINA_HOME/lib will be in the CLASSPATH for Tomcat's ClassLoader,
which will be used after your webapp's ClassLoader, depending on
exactly when the driver tries to load.

I suspect nothing has changed in Tomcat.

If you are using a JNDI DataSource, you should probably have it in
CATALINA_HOME/lib and nowhere else.

So,

that looks like you are NOT using a Tomcat-created JNDI
DataSource, but instead using commons-dbcp directly. I don't think you
are using tomat-dbcp.jar at all, since those aren't the right class names.

Given that, I would expect you to put both the driver *and*
commons-dbcp.jar into your webapp's WEB-INF/lib directory. Make sure
that neither of those JAR files are also found in CATALINA_HOME/lib.

Can you re-confirm your current setup?
