Sarah,

There has to be a problem with the class path, it gets trickier in the
servlet enviornment. Make sure that if you are using the
class.forName().newInstance that the servlet engine's class path points to
the right jar. Additionally as you might know, .jar files are in zip format
and you can view the files with winzip to make sure they contain what you
need. Finally you can use the jar file and use "import [pakage.class]" to
import into you application the class and instantiate the driver class
manually. I am not familiar with the enviornment your in or the drivers but
this is a generic java solution and I hope it helps.
