Thank u people for the suggestions. I extracted the zip file and moved the class files under COM/ibm to the CLASSES sub-directory of
Tomcat and that eradicated the error message. Now the error message I have is
exception
javax.servlet.ServletException: No suitable driver
---blah blah blah---
root cause
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
---blah blah blah---
In the jsp page I am using "Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver"); to load the driver, is this the way to register the driver also OR is there any other way?
Once again,sincere thanks to Sim Sim and Rene Larsen.
