Struts db connection issue

[girish...@gmail.com]

Hi ,
I am trying to connect to Sybase from Struts by configuring the
struts-config.
But when i try to load application page that connects to database I get
the following error

[Servlet Error]-[action]: Failed to load servlet:

My struts-confic looks like this

<data-sources>

<data-source type="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
<set-property property="driverClassName"
value="com.sybase.jdbc.SybDriver"/>
<set-property property="url"
value="jdbc:sybase:Tds:databaseservername:port/databasename"/>
<set-property property="username" value="uname"/>
<set-property property="password" value="pword"/>
</data-source>

</data-sources>

What do you guys think could be the problem.
Pl. help.

Sounds like one or more of your data-source attributes may be
incorrect. Try writing a short test class to test your DB connection
using DriverManager.getConnection. At the very least, you'll probably
get moire meaningful error messages that would help you troubleshoot
the problem.
