I think the big problem is that Oracle didn't put much thought on the naming convention for its jdbc drivers, so basically all versions are classes12.zip. There are a very big library of releases and there is not (or at least I haven't found a central repository). You have to unzip/unjar the file and see what it contains. If you see things like ocijdbc9_g.dll, it will work with 9i.
I personally keep a directory structure where I put all releases of classes12.zip that I find, and with which versions, jdk, OS and connection type (thin/OCI) they work. Ex: NT/8.1.7/Thin/classes12.zip 1887KB NT/8.1.7.1/Thin/classes12.zip 1888KB NT/9.0.1/Thin/classes12.zip 1081KB There are sometimes patches with one or two classes, that you have to move to your all zip to make it work. Many times a jdbc may work with thin client but not with fat, or work in NT but not in Solaris. Personally I think Oracle has done a mess with this, the only solution is try until you find a good one. By the way, having the latest doesn't warranty it will work with your current setup. The are not backward compatible. angel -----Original Message----- From: Laura [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 1:06 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: AW: PLEASE HELP ME: JNDI ERROR 1 I use classes12.jar (classes12.zip): well, the database my examples was ok with, was 8i.
