getting class not found exception

Hi friends i am facing the following error while trying to connect to a database through java code:
Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:169)
at com.example.model.Driver.main(Driver.java:13)
My java code is:
package com.example.model;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class Driver {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException,
SQLException {

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
// or you can use:
// DriverManager.registerDriver(
// new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc

racle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:ORCL", "scott", "tiger");

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset = stmt
.executeQuery("select * from customer");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
rset.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();

}
}

As per i came to know it could be due to class path issue but don't know how to resolve

my class path is showing following thing
Variable value: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

and path is showing :
C:\app\admin\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\10.0\DLLShared\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio Shared\DLLShared\

Can anyone suggest me what to do.

Your classpath should contain location and name of the Oracle jdbc library (e.g.: c:\mylibs\oracle\odbc14.jar)

Please be sure to use code tags when posting code to the forums. Unformatted or unindented code is extremely hard to read and many people that might be able to help you will just move along to posts that are easier to read. Please click this link ⇒ UseCodeTags ⇐ for more information.

Properly indented and formatted code greatly increases the probability that your question will get quicker, better answers.

Hi Jan i downloaded a classes12.jar file and put it into C:\bea\user_project\workspace\jdk160_05\jre\lib\ext folder and set the class path as well but still i am getting the same error.

Kindly suggest.

Can you post your class path? And the process you go through to change, you might have it pointed to the wrong directory.

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

not "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"

Hi friends still i am unable to resolve this issue. I set my class path to C:\bea\user_project\workspace\wlserver_10.3\server\ext\jdbc\oracle\11g\ojdbc5.jar;

i am using weblogic 10.3 workspace and weblogic 10.3 server.

package com.example.model;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class Driver 
{
  public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {

System.out.println("Install Driver");
   Class.forName("");
	//Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.oci.D iver");
   //DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
	
   System.out.println("Driver Installed .....");
   // or you can use:
   //  DriverManager.registerDriver(
   //   new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
   
   Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
       "jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:ORCL", "scott", "tiger");
   System.out.println("Connection Done..............."+conn);

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
   System.out.println("Statement Done..............."+stmt);
   
   System.out.println("get result set...............");
   
   ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select * from customer");
   System.out.println("result found..............."+rset);
   
   while (rset.next())
   {
     System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
   }
   
   rset.close();
   stmt.close();
   conn.close();

}
}

what mistake i could possibly would have made kindly suggest.I am also attaching my data source of web-logic admin console .

You are trying to run a standalone class against the DB, right? So how do you run the class (i.e: command)?
