hi justin and miles --

i only added the -cp business to startup command because i couldnt get
oracleSpatial to appear in the DataStores list when i tried running the
command without the modifications.

since our last email, i also tried running geoserver 1.6.5 on a
windows2003 server with the same results.

on solaris my java version is:

elvis[kxv4]{188}% /usr/java/bin/java -version
java version "1.5.0_03"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_03-b07)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_03-b07, mixed mode)


thanks for your help on this

Ah ok...

"When you use [the -jar] option, the JAR file is the source of all user
classes, and other user class path settings are ignored."

So in essence the -cp switch is being ignored in your startup command...
But it should pick them up if you put them in geoserver's default lib
directory anyway - "[GEOSERVER_HOME]/server/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib/"

PS- Questions like this should be posted to the geoserver-users group...

Hi Visram,

I am not 100% sure but I don't believe specifying the oracle jars on the

command like this will work. Instead i believe you must copy them into 
webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/lib. I could be wrong but I am not sure that 
jars from this classpath are propagated to the classpath given to the 
web applications started in the container. I could be wrong, i would 
have to double check how jetty class loading works.
