Re: Problems finding my JDBC driver for Oracle
I had trouble once with Oracle 8.1.6 classes12.zip, then when I used 8.1.7, and it worked fine. Another trouble was when trying to use J2SE 1.4 compliant classes with 1.3, so I tried different combinations and then it worked. Hope it helps. miagi - Original Message - From: Nikola Milutinovic [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Tomcat Users List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 3:34 AM Subject: Re: Problems finding my JDBC driver for Oracle Dor Orgad wrote: I think this thing is playing funny buggers cos with this new code its giving me the driver not found exception. a i dont know what to d!!! type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP An error occurred at line: 6 in the jsp file: /testing.jsp Generated servlet error: [javac] Compiling 1 source file /export/home/tomcat/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.29/work/Standalone/localhost/_/testin g_jsp.java:48: cannot resolve symbol symbol : class OraceDriver location: package driver java.sql.Driver driver = new oracle.jdbc.driver.OraceDriver(); ^ This would indicate that Oracle's classes are not loaded up.

It is a .jar file and I can fully unzip it, and the contents contain the directory oracle/jdbc/driver/OracleDriver So i don't think its that.

If this is indeed the case, that's your problem. A setup like this does not work, because the classloader does not see jars inside jars.

Re: Problems finding my JDBC driver for Oracle
No no, I got the driver classes12.jar from the net. I was just saying that it can be full unzipped without any problems, to prove the integrity of the file. Other then that, nothing else has been done to the file. Cheers Dor Philipp Taprogge wrote: Hi!
