Is it possible to load two different versions of the JDBC driver in the same application?

[Tecno Brain <cerebrotecnologico@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a Java application that is using Postgres 9.1, and we use the latest 9.1 JDBC driver.

The same Java app requires access now to a Redshift cluster. Amazon recommends to use a Postgres 8 JDBC driver for connecting to Redshift.

Can I load both drivers in the same application ?

I currently use the Apache database connection pool configured through Tomcat's context.xml to load the driver and handle the connection pool.
