Chuck,
Thanks. As Dave pointed out, my core difficulty was a permissions problem.
BUT: It is running and yet my
META-INF/context.xml
still contains the path and docBase attributes.
Where can I read up on what should be in META-INF/context.xml ??
RE:
By intercepting and discarding the original exception, you threw away
much useful information, such as the stack trace. Don't do that.
Of course, you're right. It's only the presence of my "//TODO: log
this; kill off everything..."
that enables me to claim that I have the right stuff on my list of TODOs.
Thanks again,
Ken Bowen

Take out the path and docBase attributes - they're not allowed when
using META-INF/context.xml. (This is not likely to solve your problem,
but let's clean up the obvious things first.)
MyApp AppListener: ENTER
DAOBaseData: Cannot load JDBC driver class
'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
By intercepting and discarding the original exception, you threw away
much useful information, such as the stack trace. Don't do that.
I tried copying it to /opt/tomcat5/common/lib , but I still
get the same error.
The same jar must not be present in more than one node in a given
classloader branch. So it would be o.k. to /move/ the jar to
common/lib, but you must not have it in both common/lib and WEB-INF/lib.
Why does tomcat on Windows find the JDBC
driver, but not find it on Linux?
Don't know, but the fix the above stuff first (along with what David S
suggested), and let's go from there.
