*Hi,

I'm no expert but the information I have read ( see 
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html 
)

says;

NOTE:* Do not install these jarfiles in your |/WEB-INF/lib|, or 
|$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext|, or anywhere else. You will experience problems 
if you install them anyplace other than |$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib|.

So I guess that you don't want to copy them to WEB-INF/lib. I'm using a 
McKoi database but mine works fine with only one copy of the mckoidb.jar 
in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib

cheers,

Iain.
