Cannot create JDBC driver of class...

If you're getting Cannot create JDBC driver of class... while trying to integrate your MySql or JDBC database with your Tomcat server, check out this thread over at server side for helpful tips. I think the link will take you to the anchor point which has the solution which worked for me. Basically, Tomcat 5.5.7's conf/server.xml file is set up differently than most of the web documentation would lead you to believe (at least, I could never get any of the examples to work for me... but I've been a Tomcat Administrator for all of about 2 hours now, so don't really take this as fact).
