Oracle JDBC thin drivers are supposed to be used as .zip. I've never had to uncompress them, neither on NT, Solaris, or Linux.
The question is, why is tomcat trying to execute that file? It sounds like there is something wrong with the startup command. How did you add it to your classpath? in TOMCAT_OPTS? jchuang ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Strain" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 5:36 PM Subject: Re: cannot execute binary file > Hi: > I hate to be simplistic, but, is your classes12.zip file still compressed? > If so just unzip it to a safe location and alter your classpath > > > >From: "Noble Long" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: "Tomcat Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: cannot execute binary file > >Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001 14:41:47 -0600 > > > >I am using the Oracle jdbc thin client in my application.
