I didn't think that JDBC drivers registered themselves properly when their classes are loaded from a class loader different from the system class loader. (Since you put the postgress jar in WEB-INF/lib it is probably under a custom class loader created by your J2EE container.) I believe Tomcat docs say to put jdbc driver jars into one of tomcats lib directories, I forget which one now. Anyway, you might want to read about Tomcats connection pooling. You can set up a database connection pool through its UI and get connections through JNDI. Thats the probably a better way to retrieve database connections for your servlet. It will also keep hardcoded usernames and passwords out of your source files. [/QUOTE]
