I am trying to use the NATIVE DB2 DRIVER but keep getting that it is not found. What am I missing??

I have the following in my hibernate.properties
hibernate.dialect net.sf.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver
hibernate.connection.url jdbc:db2://somedb

I did a Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver"); //THIS GETS NO ERRORS
before


static {
try {
// Create the SessionFactory
sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
} catch (HibernateException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Configuration problem: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}


Hibernate version: 2.1.4

c3pO version: 0.8.4.5

Mapping documents:

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
