thanks for the inputs i'm on my way to the mailing
list u suggested... anyhow i hope this wont be a
bother to ask

i placed the files

firebirdsql.jar
connector.jar
log4j-core.jar

in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib

the good news is the driver is now registered and the
connection pools Initialized however the not so good
news is i get an error from log4j:

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,true) call failed
java.io.FileNotFoundException: log\test.log (The
system cannot find the path specified)

how should i resolve this error?? would the
performance of tomcat be affected by this error if i
ignore it??

thanks really... hope to hear from u again soon..

pal,
benjohn
