Using java 1.8, postgresql-42.1.4.jar, embedded tomcat 9
It appears to me that I need to make the call "Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver)" when the entry is in a servlet. Is this expected, within a servlet, or is this just post hoc ergo propter hoc at it finest and I changed something else (wittingly or not). Same code outside of servlet does not need the forced loading of the class and the manual claims it's not need after java 1.6
