Thank you for this reply but I'm currently working under Linux with version 1.5.0_15 of the JDK, well maybe my classpath variable is not correctly set; it is set as: /usr/share/jdbc/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar:/usr/share/tomcat/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/lib/servlet-api.jar

Something is missing?? I don't know equivalent of \jarfiles\log4j-1.2.8.jar under Linux

Thank you for suggestions
Regards
Michel
