Rick,

Finally I figured out the Tomcat part it is working fine. But still
the JDBC part seems to not working.

Current software version I have:

Webserver
==========
Server version: Apache Tomcat/5.5.17
OS Name: Linux
OS Version: 2.6.9-5.EL
Architecture: i386
JVM Version: 1.5.0_01-b08
JVM Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.

Firebird version:
================
SQL> show version;
ISQL Version: LI-V1.5.3.4870 Firebird 1.5
Firebird/linux Intel (access method), version "LI-V1.5.3.4870
Firebird 1.5"
Firebird/linux Intel (remote server), version "LI-V1.5.3.4870
Firebird 1.5/tcp (hostname)/P10"
Firebird/linux Intel (remote interface), version "LI-V1.5.3.4870
Firebird 1.5/tcp (hostname)/P10"
on disk structure version 10.1
SQL>


Jbird Version
=============
Using file - jaybird-full-2.0.1.jar extracted from JayBird-
2.0.1JDK_1.5.zip

Can you please suggest me what other setup I am missing here since I
am pretty much on the new version of software now.
Thanks a bunch for your help and time.
