installed mysql4 on debian and copied mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar in smith/WEB-INF/lib, but still could not validate the connection successfully; while another jdbc driver installed on debian /usr/lib/ works fine with tomcat 5.5.

Have you double checked that the mysql user that you are using, has access to log onto the DB you are trying to connect to, from the host you are trying to connect from?
That's normally my problem with MySQL authentication, forgetting that it's host specific
You are right, it's the connection between linux machine and windows machine. I'am using Windows to do all the testing, while the Smith is running on linux machine. The solution: upgrade the tcp/ip package.
