Help!: jTDS is not working on j2sdkee1.4!

Question

Hello there!
I'm working with Win2k sp4, MS-Sql Server 7 and j2ee sdk 1.4 (the newest release).
I'm trying to use the jTDS JDBC driver to access a MSSql database. This is the connection pool configuration:
<jdbc-connection-pool connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbcx.TdsDataSource" fail-all-connections="false" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-connection-validation-required="false" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="false" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="cmc" pool-resize-quantity="2" res-type="javax.sql.DataSource" steady-pool-size="8">
<description>mydb</description>
<property name="DatabaseName" value="mydb"/>
<property name="LoginTimeout" value="6000"/>
<property name="Password" value="mypass"/>
<property name="User" value="myuser"/>
<property name="PortNumber" value="1433"/>
<property name="ServerName" value="localhost"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
I set up the configuration and restarted the server. I put the jtds-0.7.1.jar file on
c:\sun\appserver\domains\domain1\lib folder (and nowhere else) and restarted the server. I've checked for the port 1433 and it's working fine.
But when I ping the connection pool, I always get the same error: Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean.
I'm getting nuts trying to solve this problem and I don't get it!.
Please, any help would be appreciatted!!
Thanx

Hey! Alin! Thankyou!
I finally solved the problem with your responses!!!
I downloaded the final RC version of jTDS (0.8). I copyed the JAR file in c:\sun\appserver\domains\domain1\lib
The final configuration in the domain.xml is:
<description>mydb</description>
<property name="DatabaseName" value="mydb"/>
<property name="LoginTimeout" value="6000"/>
<property name="Password" value="mypass"/>
<property name="User" value="myuser"/>
<property name="PortNumber" value="1433"/>
<property name="ServerName" value="localhost"/>
<property name="Server_type" value="sqlserver"/> <--- VERY IMPORTANT
<property name="Charset" value="Unidoce"/> <--- VERY IMPORTANT
</jdbc-connection-pool>
An now it's pinging without problems!!!
My only concern is that "Unicode" is a valid value for the "charset" property.
Regards!
