Exception
"java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"

Subject: Re: Connections !! Classpath!!!
Put the jars you need in the WEB-INF/lib subdirectory of your context.
Tomcat will make them available to your servlet. See the doc at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-3.3-doc/appdev/deployment.html,
especially section 3.2: "WEB-INF/lib/ - This directory contains JAR
files that contain Java class files (and associated resources) required
for your application, such as third party class libraries or JDBC
drivers. "
Or make your CLASSPATH include them before you start Tomcat.
And please include better Subject: lines, for example a brief version of
your question (e.g. "How do I make Tomcat include needed jars for my
servlet?").
