Thanks for all your advice, Problem sorted now.
I moved the ojdbc14.jar into common/lib only, and set-up a context in the appname/META-INF/contex.xml. Tomcat still wouldn't start after renaming ResourceParams to Resource even after I had validated the xml with an xml validator tool. In the end I stripped out the context.xml file and retyped everything rather than copy and paste the context from server.xml. And it now works, I'm guesing the last step was that there was something up / hidden with the file type encoding utf-8. Thanks Ian Hi Ian. ojdbc14.jar needs to ONLY be in common/lib. It won't work in myapp/WEB-INF/lib and won't work if you have the jar in both places. Additionally you should take a look at the JDBC howto docs regarding what your <Resource...> config in your myapp/META-INF/context.xml or conf/Catalina/localhost/myapp.xml should look like: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html#Oracle%208i%20with%20OCI%20client My only editorial comment on the page is to NOT place your <Resource.../> or <Context .../> definition in server.xml as recommended on the page. Place it in context.xml or myapp.xml as I describe above. --David [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Thanks for your advice so far > >I've upgraded to the latest Oracle ojdbc14.jar and placed it the >myapp\WEB-INF\lib folder, I also tried it the >Tomcat\common\lib for for good measure but still got the same results.
