Thanks to all who responded. Chuck seemed to hit the nail on the head - as soon as I removed the duplicate JDBC driver from the WEB-INF/lib, the problem went away. I didn't intend to have the duplicate driver there, it was the result of omitting the <scope>provided</scope> in my pom.xml. However, I wouldn't have associated the strange looking class cast exception w/ the different classloaders.

Thanks again for the help!

Subject: strange problem w/ connection pool and Oracle

Cause: java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.sql.STRUCT cannot
be cast to oracle.sql.STRUCT

This is a classic symptom of having a class file loaded by two different 
classloaders; despite having the same names, they are not the same class, due 
to the different classloaders.

Check your webapp's lib directory to see if there's a copy of the Oracle JDBC 
jar lurking in there; you can't have it in the webapp if Tomcat is managing the 
connection pool for you.
