Oracle Connectivity Error

When I run the following code I am getting this error
Can any one suggest where is the error & what is the best way to connect to oracle database using java.

<font size=2.5>
public class OracleConnection {
   public static void main(String args[]) {
   Connection con = null;
   ResultSet rs = null;
   Statement stmt = null;
   try {
   Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
   con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc  :oracle  :oci7:@","asset","tiger");  
   stmt = con.createStatement();
   rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select * from ashish");
   while(rs.next()) {
   System.out.println(rs.getString("name"));
   }
       }catch(ClassNotFoundException e) {
      System.out.println("Couldn't Load Driver" + e);
        }catch(SQLException e1) { System.out.println("SQL Exception caught" + e1);
      }
   }
}
I am getting this error while running(It is comipling successfully)
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no oci73jdbc in java.

The URL looks wrong, compare it to one of ours,
url = jdbc

racle:thin:@ibms1:xxxx:dev3
where @ibms1 is the host server
xxxx is the port number
dev3 is the service name or sid
We do not include username and password since that is validated elsewhere but the form would be url - user - password.
Hope this helps

I'd also try a couple of extra catch statements. One around the Class.forName and one around the getConnection. This way you'll see if the problem is occuring because the driver is not loading properly (i.e. the Oracle dirvers are not in the class path or similar) or if the connection string is invalid. I suspect that it's the former.

Bill I tried the url that you have specified but now
also I am getting this error while running it.
modified connection(con)where assetdb is the host server,1521 port id & assetdb is SID.
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc

racle:thin:@assetdb:1521:assetdb","asset","tiger");
Now I am getting this error
SQL Exception caughtjava.sql.SQLException: assetdb
