SUMMARY

This article explains why Tomcat would log an error about not being able to create JDBC driver, when the User Management System has been enabled for an Audium application.

SYMPTOMS

An error similar to the following is present in the Tomcat logs:

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class 'com.somecompany.sqldriver'

where com.somecompany.sqldriver is the name of the JDBC driver you are attempting to use with the JNDI connection.

RESOLUTION

This error is generated when Tomcat cannot find the JDBC driver class that was specified in the JNDI configuration

Please ensure that the JAR file containing this class and any other JAR files that are required by this driver, are located within the classpath.  Note that your Tomcat installation may be configured to call setclasspath.bat (Windows only), which will change the classpath just before Tomcat starts.  If this is the case, please edit setclasspath.bat to include the path to these JARs, or place the JARs somewhere within the classpath that is already defined in this file. 

Once the required JARs are located within the classpath that Tomcat uses, this error should not appear.
