JDBC within Servlet in JBoss using Tomcat

[carlt]

Hi All,

I hope someone will be able to help me.

I have a simple servlet that performs basic retrival and updates to an IBM DB2 DB. I have JBoss 2.4.3 with Tomcat installed. I also have a separate copy of Tomcat installed.

I have setup my classpath to include the DB2 .jar files needed for the JDBC drivers.

I have deployed the servlet into both tomcat containers and it works fine in the standalone tomcat installation and when I run just Tomcat from the JBoss install it also works fine.

However when I run JBoss_with_tomcat.bat the servlet errors when trying to load the JDBC DB2 Driver.

I have created a JBOSS_CLASSPATH which is an exact copy of my normal CLASSPATH but it still doesn't work.

Can anyone help please ??

Thanks in advance for any help,

Carl

Thanks for your reply Sundaram.

I managed to get it working in the end without moving the DB2 jar files. It was just me being stupid and forgeting that the classpath had long file names as soon as I changed them to 8.3 it worked fine.

Thanks for your help though,

Carl
