I'm trying to access an Oracle 7.3.4 database using the Oracle OCI driver. I'm getting an UnSatisifiedLinkError exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: make_c_state at oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.make_c_state(Native Method) at oracle.jdbc.oci7.OCIDBAccess.logon(OCIDBAccess.java:155) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java:103) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:148) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:457) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:137) at jspejb.JBTest.<init>(JBTest.java:18) at __jspPage4._jspService(__jspPage4.java:31) at com.evermind.server.http.EvermindHttpJspPage.service(JAX) at com.evermind.server.http.HttpApplication.md(JAX) at com.evermind.server.http.JSPServlet.service(JAX) at cq.i5(JAX) at cq.forward(JAX) at c_.k2(JAX) at c.run(JAX) It appears that it is JNI-related. The directory that contains the Oracle DLL's is in may system's PATH statement. I have the driver's zip file in the ./lib directory, but I haven't been able to find the fix for this yet. All help appreciated.
