hi,
Thanks,That was nice ;i had already stored my .jar files in
C:\calsoft\Tomcat4.1\common\lib ,but it seemsthat it didn't helped.
As you said i also tried storing these jar files in
C:\calsoft\Tomcat4.1\webapps\sudantest\WEB-INF\lib and it worked.

It means that i will have to keep all .jar files in lib directory of
every web-app i make.There must be some other way ,i will try to find
it out,and if you come accross,dotell me.

for now i got through the connection to database that was very nice
of you replying very promptly.

Thanks.

sudarshan
