[Opensource] cant find/load the database driver

[larry hamel]

the quick fix:

drop jtds-0.5.1.jar into WEB-INF/lib/  and you can ignore the classpath

the problem:

sounds like you have either unpacked a jar, or aren't clear about jars in classpath.  either way, consider read more about java/classpaths on the web.

good luck!
