Connection pooling with DBCP

[Amarjyoti Das]

Hi,
Anybody playing with dbcp from apache? I compined ManualPoolingDriverExample.java. Before compiling, I put commons-dbcp.jar, commons-pool.jar and commons-collections.jar under \lib\ext directory of JDK (1.4). I also renamed class12.zip ( oracle jdbc driver) to oracle-jdbc.jar. The code comiples fine. But when I try to run it using the following command it fails to create a database connection. Please help.
Thank you,
C:\java\classes>java ManualPoolingDriverExample "jdbc racle:thin:smms/password@myserver:1521:smms" "
SELECT * FROM DUAL"
Setting up driver.

I have implemented Connection Pooling thru DBCP. But I have placed the JDBC driver jar in my web application's \WEB-INF\lib folder and the common-*.jars in the $CATLINA_ROOT\common\lib directory.-
