jdbc problem in a custom generator

[Nicolas Rod]

Hi,
I'm quite new to cocoon and I'm trying to make a jdbc connection in a 
custom generator but I always get this error which can be found in the 
sitemap.log: 'java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver'

Here's the code I use in my generator:
   Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
   Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
I also tried with:
   DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
   Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
Both codes give me the same error.
If I try to instanciate the OracleDriver like the following code, the 
debug shows me "od isn't 'null'", meaning the driver class is found.

OracleDriver od = new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver();
if(od==null)
    getLogger().debug("od is 'null'");
else
    getLogger().debug("od isn't 'null'");
The driver class is loaded in the web.xml, as I know it has to be.
If I use the same code in simple Java class, out of cocoon, it connects 
without any problem.

Does anyone have any idea why this happens ?
Thanks,
Nicolas
