Connecting Java with Oracle

[besian hoxha]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect with Oracle but there are some problem..
Can anyone help me please?

There is the code:

private Connection getOracleConnection() throws SQLException {
    Connection connection = null;
    try{
        String url = "jdbc:odbc:connectOracle";
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"ubt","shkparadite");
        connection.setAutoCommit(false);
        Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
        System.out.println("Lidhja me databazen Oracle  krijua ...");
					
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select* from FILIALET ");
        rs.next();
        System.out.println ("________________________");
        System.out.println ("Leximi i Tables FILIALET: " );
        System.out.println ("|-" + rs.getString(1));
        System.out.println ("|-" + rs.getString(2));
        System.out.println ("|-" + rs.getString(3));
        System.out.println ("|-" + rs.getString(4));
        stmt.close();	
		
        connection.setAutoCommit(false);
					
        System.out.println (connection.toString());
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return connection;
		
}

PROBLEM:

Did you get the jar file containing the oracle connection driver and put it in your classpath?
It seems you didn't.

[Campbell Ritchie]

I think this thread would sit better in the databases forum (connections probably fit better there than in the Oracle forum). Moving discussion.

[William P O'Sullivan]

Nicola is correct.

Class.forName() will look in the $CLASSPATH/%CLASSPATH% of the application server at run-time.

Either include the oracle supplied jar in your web-inf/lib or install in the appservers shared lib folders.
