Hi Tomcat People

It happens very often that our customers get difficulties in running Oracle 
JDBC apps with Tomcat due to the fact that Tomcat recognizes only the "jar" 
suffix for library and that Oracle delivers its JDBC driver within a zip 
suffixed file.

Would it be nice to have a option or parameter of Tomcat telling which are the 
suffixes it should take into account when running, with a default to "jar" to 
comply with the actual behavior.

Regards
