Get the 100% Java version of the driver, the one that does not uses OCI (I do not
remember how Oracle name it). The OCI version of the JDBC driver needs you to have the
Oracle Client for Linux installed and configured. The non-OCI version (I guess it is
the "thin" driver) can talk to your Oracle Server with no additional software.

Anywhere you want. The only thing that matters is the path to the jar file from the
driver.

You have to add a new wrapper.classpath line pointing to the jar file of your Oracle
JDBC driver.

The JDBC URL is specific to the JDBC driver. The driver package comes with example
programs you can use. The OCI and the Thin driver has different URLs.

Maybe it is not -- this list is not about Oracle or JDBC drivers. But, if I can help,
why not?
Go to www.oralinux.org where you can find more resources about Oracle and Linux.
