MySQL is not Oracle, Oracle is not MySQL, Oracle is not COMPATIBLE with MySQL, and vice-versa. You cannot use pieces of Oracle to access pieces of MySQL, or vice-versa. Not knowing what these "servlets" are, or what they do, I'd venture to guess that you'll need to modify/rewrite them so they can be used with MySQL. > I've done it before on other machines, but the system was already set up > and everything was installed.
