Hey Chuck, We had the same idea about the java.library.path property, too. After more fiddling around, I think we figured out what is going on.
1st: Set JAVA_OPTS to include java.library.path to include the SQLLIB/JAVA directory of DB2 Connect 2nd: Removed the DB2java.jar from the web application and have it in "common". I think this was a combination of different classloaders loading the JAR and the lack of library path. I am still working on it to see if anything else happens as a result of this.

Maybe, but the error message is one of those catch-all types used to cover a variety of problems. You can check the value of the java.library.path system property in a running Tomcat with Lambda Probe or JConsole; make sure it includes the location of the .dll you need. Is the DB2java.jar in more than one location in the classloader hierarchy? (E.g., in both Tomcat's lib directory and the app's WEB-INF/lib.) Are there any other exceptions thrown besides the "No suitable driver" one? I would have expected a CNFE or something like that as a root cause. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
