tomcat 5.5.4 & datasource error: no suitable driver found

S

Hi,
I am running tomcat 5.5.4 and trying to use JSTL sql tag. I setup a
data source though Tomcat's admin web-app for Postgresql (8 beta). I
made sure the jdbc jar is in common/lib (I even specifically added it
to the class path through setclasspath.sh). I still get a
"java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver" exception.

I tested the jdbc driver using jdbctester...because of that I'm pretty
sure the driver works. I copied the URL format from jdbctester to
tomcat (some online references suggested that the url might be
malformed), but it still doesn't work!

Following is some relevant information:

test.jsp (I DON'T get any exception in the code between <% and %>
tags!):---------------------------------------------

<head>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3PoolingDataSource();
source.setDataSourceName("ssx");
source.setServerName("localhost");
source.setDatabaseName("ss");
source.setUser("postgres");

out.println(new org.postgresql.Driver());
%>

By the way, this seemed like the most relevant newsgroup, if there is a
