Within the docs I do not see a recommendation to place the JDBC-driver both in ${CATALIN_HOME}/lib *AND* WEB-INF:
============== 1. Install Your JDBC Driver Use of the JDBC Data Sources JNDI Resource Factory requires that you make an appropriate JDBC driver available to both Tomcat internal classes and to your web application. This is most easily accomplished by installing the driver's JAR file(s) into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib directory, which makes the driver available both to the resource factory and to your application. =============== > 2. If I copied more than one JDBC jars (with different version) in > CATALINA_HOME/lib folder for couple of my applications, how each of them > looks for the respective versions of JDBC driver? I'd reconsider my webapps preferabbly: Why should your webapps require different versions of the same JDBC-driver? Do you have different instance of MySQL running? If not, IMHO that doesn't make any sense at all.
