Hi Meet,

Have a look at this post on the serverside maybe
they have solved your problem already.

Thanks for the link.. After copying my context.xml to server 'conf' folder, I got driver not found error then I copied my driver jar file to server lib then it's working fine.. But in case of shared tomcat server, we don't have access to conf folder. Also many applications were deployed on the server then how we will place the context.xml in the conf folder.

Please advice
