Still cant find the driver

Question

Hi there im using Postgesql driver.. have read the FAQ and checked my path in winXP.. all seems OK to me..
CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\common\lib\pg73jdbc3.jar;.;
the .jar file is there..
          try { // load the driver
               Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
          catch( Exception e ) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               return;
have checked inside the JAR for the class file its all there... still throwing an exception ... NOT HAPPY JAN =)

This is a terrible idea, even if it's working.
You installed Tomcat in a directory that has spaces in its name. Very bad idea.
You'd be better off actually learning something about how Tomcat works.
Tomcat ignores your system CLASSPATH. Most IDEs do, too.
That JDBC JAR belongs in your app's WEB-INF/lib, not jre/lib/ext directory. If you insist on sharing it among your Tomcat apps, put it in TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib.
