hi, maybe some of these comments you've seen in previous replies to your question.
First of all, the classes12.zip is not the same for Oracle9i and 8i, so you must ensure that you've downloaded the correct one (from otn.oracle.com). You must install the Oracle Client Software to use OCI driver and set up connections and such, as it uses TNSNames.ora to create connection to the database server. There are two drivers in the classes12.zip one is the OCI and the other is the thin driver. I have used the thin driver most the time, it works fine, and I think most cases it is sufficient to use that one. remember to rename the zip file to .jar. hope it helps -reynir -----Original Message----- From: Shiva.Devaguptapu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23. apríl 2002 09:42 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: oci8 driver problem on Linux Hi, I have been using classes12.zip in the CLASSPATH for oci8 driver on Win2k. Now I am porting on Linux6.2. It says the following error : java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc8 in java.library.path some other exception.......... java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc8 in java.library.path I placed classes12.zip in TOMCAT_HOME/lib and so it is into CLASSPATH when the tomcat is started(confirmed).. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and show me a way out.
