JDBC driver is not on the CLASSPATH

[Abiodun Adisa]

I am trying to create a Conncetion Pool to a MYSQl database and which each try i get this error "JDBC driver is not on the CLASSPATH". I figure i have to dump mysql database Jar files into one of the directories of Weblogic 8.1 Server which i am using but i have forgotten which one

[Sandeep Advani]

look at server directory.
something like weblogic700/server/lib.

Hi All,
Please check for mysql_connector_java.jar file in your classpath.
if it's exist in the classpath it will work for you .
if not please place the jar file in your class apth and do the connection pooling it will work for you.

Thanks

Hi I too have the same problem. I'm trying to configure a data source in my weblogic server 8.1. I get this error while testing driver configuration : JDBC driver is not on the CLASSPATH

I put the related jar file in the server's lib folder like: weblogic81\server\lib.
In my domain's startWebLogic.cmd i modified this file to include the above jar file in the classpath something like this: CLASSPATH=%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%;%POINTBASE_CLASSPATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\webservices.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\MYJAR.jar;%CLASSPATH%

I stopped and started the server. Yet I get the above error. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated. I've spent a couple of hours now trying to figure this out but can't.

Thanks

It should pick it up if it is in the classpath. Perhaps there is a type erroor or the path is incorrect

I have also got the same error "JDBC driver is not in the classpath" when I am configuring connection pool.

I had edited in my domain's startWeblogic.cmd as the following

set CLASSPATH=%WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH%;%POINTBASE_CLASSPATH%;%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\rt.jar;%WL_HOME%\server\lib\webservices.jar;%CLASSPATH%;C:\bea816\weblogic81\server\lib\mysql.jar

and restarted the server and then configured the connection pool successfully.

Hi All,

I am getting the same error on Weblogic8 with MS SQL Server.
The sqljdbc.jar driver is on the path C:\Program Files\bea\weblogic814\server\lib
and also added the setEnv as CLASSPATH=%BEA_HOME%\weblogic814\patches\CR210310_81sp4.jar;%SERVER_DIR%\lib\sqljdbc.jar;%CLASSPATH%;%SERVER_DIR%\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;%SERVER_DIR%\lib\weblogic.jar;

As it is bit urgent, can anyone please help/share your thought on this issues?

Thanks in advance.
