Hi,

I've been trying to configure the JDBC connector to use an Oracle
Express (https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/xe.html)
[1]database. I can talk to the database with SQL Developer, making
tables and running queries, so I am confident that the database is
functional. 

Using ManifoldCF 2.11, when I create a connection and save it, I get an
error message:  Threw exception: 'Driver class not found:
oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver' 

I'm familiar with the Documentum connector so I was expecting that I
might need to add library code from Oracle to the ManifoldCF
installation but I can only find references to an ojdbc.jar file for
building,
https://manifoldcf.apache.org/release/release-2.11/en_US/how-to-build-and-deploy.html#Building+and+running+the+JDBC+connector%2C+including+Oracle%2C+MSSQL%2C+MySQL%2C+SQLServer%2C+and+Sybase+JDBC+drivers:
For Oracle, download the appropriate Oracle JDBC jar from the Oracle
site, and copy it into the same directory before you build ManifoldCF. 

I've downloaded the relevant jar from Oracle and also taken it from my
SQL Developer instance but I can't find a place within the ManifoldCF
instance where it is picked up at run time. 

I did find that dropping it into the Java distro
(Java\jdk1.8.0_91\jre\lib\ext) made it findable, but this doesn't seem
like a long-term solution. 

I can't find a bug in this area in the ManifoldCF Jira. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Cheers,
James
