Ah, that is why I've not heared of that way before this morning.
Also, I rarely use -Djdbc.driver any how.
PS: I just remembered another one: Putting the .jar file name in the
manifest of the application's .jar file. I know that one works for
applications, but not sure of the others.

Well, technically there is no difference between the servlet case and the
application case. You can start up JServ with the -Djdbc.driver argument,
allthough I wouldn't recommend it.
Apache JServ is only one example of how configuration is done. The new
servlet APIs have better deployment specification than what you find in 2.0
API that JServ implements.
