DB2 JDBC: no suitable driver!

           Summary: DB2 JDBC: no suitable driver!
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: ralf.eichinger@rbg.de


though including the db2java.zip (renamed to db2java.jar) in the WEB-INF/lib 
directory of my webapp jdbc does not work anymore. it worked under tomcat 3.2.3!
the error message is: java.sql.Exception: No suitable driver in 
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection( line 537 ).

i've tried several approaches:
- unpack zip and put classes in WEB-INF/classes
- put jars in common/lib, /lib, WEB-INF/lib
- unpack db2java.zip and repack with jar
no approach works.

a test-jdbc-application with the same db2java.zip-package in the classpath 
works!

what went wrong from tomcat 3.2.3 to 4?
i've found several people in newsgroups having exact the same problem!
HELP!
