Satish--

I have my driver (jdbc7.1-1.2.jar) in TOMCAT-HOME/lib/.
Things seem to be working OK.

Can you tell me what's supposed to be the difference
between common/lib and lib?

Thanks,

Hi Frederick,

Copy the postgresql JDBC driver "postgresql.jar" file
to the TOMCAT-HOME/common/lib directory. Restart your
tomcat server. That's it.

Regards,
Satish.
