I've used the jdbc driver in a servlet rather effectively.

You might try doing something like:

System.setProperty("jdbc.drivers","postgresql.Driver");
Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");

This works for me with Postgresql 6.5.3, if the package name got
changed to org.postgresql you should probably try:

System.setProperty("jdbc.drivers","org.postgresql.Driver");
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
