oracle.jdbc.driver problem in tomcat 4.1.27

i keep getting an error message when trying to use my servlets. they
seem to indicate that the oracle files cannot be found even though they
appear in my classpath and compile with javac correctly.

Any way to tell tomcat where this is or where to look for the files?

code sample:

import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;


public class Lookup extends HttpServlet
{
private static void loadJDBCDriver ()
{
System.out.println ( "Loading database driver..." );

try
{
DriverManager.registerDriver ( new
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver() );
System.out.println ( "Oracle driver loaded..." );
}

Put them in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your application or dump
them directly in the $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext directory.
