Try to extract your driver jar file into your web server default class directory. That way it will surely see the classes.

We're having enormous dificulty with getting an Oracle JDBC driver recognised in our webapp. A day of trawling google and the archives have brought up a variety of solutions which we've gone through but so far to no avail.. The base error we're getting is the following Root cause:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver The environment is NT4, Tomcat 3.3, jdk1.3.1_01 and Oracle 8i Todate we have: * downloaded the oracle JDBC driver classes12.zip and dumped it into the the tomcat\lib directory both as the original zip and then renamed as a jar - no success * Tried it in the specific web-app's lib folder. * Edited the class path such that wherever it is can be seen by the jdk and attempted to run a small test app/class * Expanded the zip file into the above directories one by one Our connection code looks pretty standard Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@123.123.12.123:dbname","user" ,"pwd"); but we're getting nowhere. Does anyone have any thoughts?
