Summary: I am an idiot and posted to the mailing list far too early. Was a problem with my JDBC connection string (a typo basically).
I think I got hung up too much on the classloading differences between Tomcat 5.x and Tomcat 6 and didn't look carefully enough at my own settings.

If you are not using JNDI then you should be able to put the Oracle JARs in WEB-INF/lib. I'd also restore catalina.properties to the original to limit the changes. > Has anybody experienced anything like this in the past either with > Blojsom or some other application which isn't using JNDI resources for > database connections using Tomcat 6? I have used DBCP directly in web-apps without a problem with 4, 5 and 6.
