TOMCAT 5.5.4 + Datasource in ROOT not working

[ticho]

Hi,
I have been trying to configure a datasource to Interbase and Informix Databases
unseccesfully...all apps are all in ROOT directory,

this is my config:
1.- JDK5.0
2.- jakarta-tomcat-5.5.4
3.- Windows 2000 Profesional
4.- $CATALINA_HOME = D:\Tomcat55\
5.- The JDBC driver for informix an Interbase in $CATALINA_HOME\Common\lib
(the JDBC driver works fine because I already have application on te same
server working good but without a connection pool).

the error:
" org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig deployDescriptor
SEVERE: Error deploying configuration descriptor ROOT.xml "

my files:

I create a file $CATALINA_HOME\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml :

I move the file
$CATALINA_HOME\conf\Catalina\localhost\ROOT.xml
an rename it as:
$CATALINA_HOME\ROOT\META-INF\context.xml

Now I have this error:

org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'

Any ideas?
