Why would you do that? Tomcat re-packages DBCP under a different package structure precisely so that you can have both libraries installed at once. > I assumed that the class loader would > pick it up like it did in the earlier version of tomcat but that doesn't > seem to happen. I still get an ClassCastException since tomcat tries to cast > the org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource to > org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource. What's crazy is that you didn't get a ClassNotFoundException looking for org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSource. > Is there any way I can force Tomcat 6.x to load my commons dbcp jar instead > of the tomcat_dbcp.jar which comes with the distro? You don't want it to load commons-dbcp.jar /instead of/ tomcat-dbcp.jar... you want it to load both. But, that won't solve your problem: can you post the code that you use to use BasicDataSource in your code (including imports)? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuWhS0ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCfkQCeOw0+p5poGdFKaOr7WBaSDT3j p8sAoI/jj5RcasUjo/1oAEAqc4uGid3P =rneK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
