hi Balu

thanks a lot for the help i tried establishing a connection to my oracle 10g xe database

using the code:

import java.sql.*;

class Connn
{
public void get connection()
{
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
out.println("the driver has been loaded");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@acer:1521:xe","system","sys");
out.println("the connection has been established");
Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
int i=stmt.executeUpdate("insert into login values('"+s+"','"+s1+"')");
if(i==1)
{
out.println("data has been inserted into the database");
}
else
{
out.println("data could'nt be inserted into the database");
}
out.close();

}
catch(SQLException e)
{
out.println(e.getMessage());
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException f)
{
out.println(f);
}
}
}




but i am getting the following error

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

what went wrong ? i have created the required tables

How are you adding the JDBC driver's jar file to the classpath?

[dipayan chatterjee]

i have set the following classpath

CLASSPATH=.;C:\oracle\ora101\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;

do i need to include more jar files in my classpath

[Balu Sadhasivam]

i have set the following classpath

CLASSPATH=.;C:\oracle\ora101\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;

do i need to include more jar files in my classpath

That should work then. Check if the jar exists there and add it at the entry at the beginning of the CLASSPATH.
CLASSPATH=C:\oracle\ora101\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;.;

type CLASSPATH in the cmd to check if your classpath is set right

Can you tell us how do you set this classpath and run the application ? Using any IDE ?
