Hello, I am trying to learn more about connecting to databases.
First I used a
java web application hosted on
Tomcat and connected/manipulated a MySQL database
This was relatively straightforward. I downloaded the MySQL driver and included that driver in the specified locations in the project and/or tomcat and all was well.
There seems to be quite a lot of online documentation showing how to do these steps.
Now, I am stuck on my next challenge. I am using a java web application hosted on WebLogic version...
Oracle WebLogic Server 12cR2 (12.2.1.1)
and I am hoping to connect to an Oracle Express DB I have installed on my machine
Oracle 11g Express
To start off this challenge I looked for where I can find the driver for Oracle 11 Express and I found this site...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/jdbc-112010-090769.html
but I am not sure which of these to use or what steps might be required to get it to work with the WebLogic server.
Any pointers on this would be appreciated on which driver to use and any link to setup steps .
FWIW java version 1.8.0_91
