Ok, we had exactly the same problem.

you have to set your classpath correctly in jserv.properties

here's an excerpt from mine :

wrapper.classpath=/usr/lib/apache/1.3/ApacheJServ.jar
wrapper.classpath=/usr/local/JSDK2.0/lib/jsdk.jar
wrapper.classpath=/usr/share/java/postgresql.jar

be careful: our installation is a Debian, and postgresql.jar was compiled
for jdk-1.1.x 
I installed jdk-1.2.2 and I had to recompile postgresql.jar from
postgresql-6.5.3 sources

it works fine for the person who uses it (I don't know java at all).
