Thanks. I got it working: 1. Removed the oracle driver from WEB-INF/lib and put it in common/lib 2. Used the format of the URL given below: jdbc:oracle:thin:@address:port:schema -- but it's rather strange -- is this documented anywhere? When I was using the "normal" (non DBCP) method to connect to the oracle DB my eariler URL string used to work!
Here is a valid url :
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@address:port:schema"
