Re: Tomcat & JDBC

I was able to get tomcat to work with postgres by putting the jar file
in /usr/local/tomcat/lib, which is the default place for tomcat to look
for libraries in my installation.

Also, are you using the right jar file? I know you can name it whatever
you want, but the download name I have is jdbc7_0-1_2.jar, while the
old jar file was called postgresql.jar.

Good luck,
Greg Speegle
