Re: tomcat/postgres problem

Hi Jason,

I think this could be a missing  in your web application
context in your server.xml. I mean, you need to declare your
 inside your web  element or inside your
 element? If not, try do it to because I think that what
is happening is that your web.xml declares a  but there is
no  available to configure it. 

So, the first error (exception) is that it cannot find the
driverClassName because it cannot read the  (like it was
null).

P.S.- I think this is a Tomcat/DBCP forum question...

Regards,
Pedro Salazar.
