Hai, I will briefly explain the situation. We are using JavaWebServer2.0 running in WinNT server and Oracle 8.0 as the database server. I am able to make connection to the Oracle database from the servlet, and When I am passing the parameters from the servlets to JSP (and viceversa) things are fine. But When I try to make connection directly from JSP to the database with jdbc driver (need to mention , I am using oracle thin client.), I am facing problems. 1. Class.forName(oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver) here it reports exception saying the class OracleDriver is not found. I tried setting the classpath for the OracleDriver which resides in the servlets directory(within the JavaWebServer2.0 scope). And with the classpath set I tried class.forname(OracleDriver) even this is not working. 2. When I specify H:\JavaWebServer2.0\servlets\OracleDriver as URl for the driver class then it is throwing exception and in expection message fullpath of the OracleDriver. Where H: is mapped to the server where the JavaWebServer2.0 is running. 3. I am not able to access any other classes in the servlet directory also(where I have all the generic classes). Can anyone help me to overcome the above problem. NOTE: We are not using beans anywhere. You can send your solutions with & without beans. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Kick off your party with Yahoo!
