My javax.servlet classes & oracle drivers were in a file called classes12.zip
I created a jar of this & placed it into my WEB-INF/lib as classes.jar.
classes.zip is the file listed in my classpath.
I suspect that this is the issue too - is there a naming convention here i'm not adhering to?
Thanks


Hi,
        are you sure that you have put the jdbc drivers for oracle in
the common/lib directory of tomcat .... somehitng tells me that there is
an issue with the JDBC driver jars  .... but I may be totally wrong ....

for some excellent information on setting up this stuff.  I don't

think
you have to spec a resource factory as the built-in one for

datasources
is a slightly refactored (package rename only) version of DBCP.  Also,


the JDBC driver needs to be stored in common/lib of the tomcat installation. Lastly, unless you are directly using the commons-dbcp package or the commons-pool package in your code, the commons-dbcp-xx.xx.jar and commons-pool.jar are not necessary in

WEB-INF.

Before we can offer any relevant advice, please let us know which version of tomcat you are working with. There are configuration differences between 5.0.x and 5.5.x.
