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 Links: ------ [1] https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/appdev/xe.html)
