Don't make us guess your problem!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Solaris 2.7 Oracle 8.1.6 JDBC 1.1.1 standard JSDK I have a class that compiles perfectly and works from the command line (with a suitable main method etc) but fails when called from a servlet. It contains the lines: Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); con = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:1526:dbname","login","password"); In Bourne I get results for my SQL queries. In the browser I get the error: "Couldn't load database driver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" I have other servlets working OK - just not JDBC-based ones: what could I be overlooking?
