Hi,

I'm a long time Firebird user, but a complete newbie to Java. I'm
trying to get the Mondrian to work with Firebird, and it seems I need
Jaybird and Tomcat for that. So, I appologise if the following
questions would look like nonsense.

I have JRE 1.6.0 and I installed and run Apache TomCat version 6.0.16.
Jaybird docs say:

"To have universal access to JayBird, put the jars in
CATALINA_HOME/common/lib."

I have two questions about that:

1. I don't have 'common' directory in my CATALINA_HOME. Should I
simply create it?

root@xx:~# ls -l $CATALINA_HOME
total 88
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38656 2008-01-28 23:39 LICENSE

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2008-02-28 17:26 work


2. Which JARs to copy?

When I unpack jaybird .zip package, there is jaybird-2.1.3.jar,
jaybird-full-2.1.3.jar and jaybird-pool-2.1.3.jar. Then there are also
some JAR files in 'lib'? Should I just copy then all (maintaining the
'lib' subdirectory)?

I guess this might be completely understandable to a Java programmer,
but I'm just a user trying to install and configure a complete
aplication (don't plan to do any programming).

I assume that I don't need libjaybird21.so for anything?

Thanks,
