Hello, I encounter a ClassNotFoundException when loading Oracle driver

That's "WEB-INF/lib".

Did you misspell it that way in your actual project?

When I move the Class.forname [sic] from my servlet to a JSP page (wic=

the JSP this works perfectly.

So Tomcat seems to have class loader in servlet or JSP that is differe=

JSPs *are* servlets.

Exact exception text?

Listing of content of webapps/yourwebapp?

You should answer Arne's questions. For one thing, if there was a
build problem and your JAR didn't copy properly to the "WEB-INF/lib/"
directory, you could have a problem.

Consider providing an SSCCE. Talking around your problem doesn't give
enough information to really draw conclusions or provide advice.

Just out of curiosity, why are you stuck on such an obsolete version
of Java?
