Other notes:

  * '''Do not use JDBC-ODBC bridge''' bundled with Sun's JDK with Tomcat. It was never meant for a production server environment. If you ask a question about it, everyone will tell you to not use it. If you do need to use ODBC, there are 3rd party drivers which do a pretty good job at being thread safe.
  * If you use the oracle thin driver, be sure to rename it to a jar file from a zip file. Tomcat only auto-magically loads files ending in .jar placed in a lib directory. It ignores all other file extensions.
