Jdbc connectivity.

Question

Hi All,
Happy new year :)
I have a query in jdbc. I have a oracle 9i database which i want to connect to from java applet.
I have installed the jdbc files and included the path in classlibrary.
The directory structure is as mentioned.
<Root directory>
|-oracle
|-jdbc
|-connector
|-driver
|-internal
|-oci
|-oracore
|-pool
|-rowset
|-util
|-xa
There are also many other directories created, but i am mentioning only the oracle driver jdbc directories.please let me know if any other directory files are also required.
I have written the following applet code.
The code tries to load the oracle driver and try to get a connection to oracle database.
The class.forName() syntax does not give error. However the
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection() syntax gives SQLException error.
The url connection string is "jdbc:oracle:dnldthin:@192.0.0.89:1521:oraodbc";
192.0.0.89 is the host ip address
oraodbc is the system dsn created.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import java.lang.Class.*;
public class AppletODBC extends JApplet
     public void init()
          s="10";
          try{
          Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          url = "jdbc:oracle:dnldthin:@192.0.0.89:1521:oraodbc";
          Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"scott","tiger") ;
          }catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
               s="0";
catch (SQLException e){
               s="8";
          hourField = new JTextField(s,10);
          npanel = new JPanel();
          npanel.add(hourField);
          this.setLayout (new BorderLayout());
          add(npanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
     public JTextField hourField;
     JPanel npanel, spanel, mpanel;
     public String s, url;
     public Connection conn;
     public Statement stmt;
     public ResultSet rs;
My guess is that either
1) the jdbc files have not got installed properly
2) i am using the wrong connection syntax.
3) the connection url string is incorrect.
Kindly guide me with my query.
Thanks & Regards,
Amit .

Answer 1

jdbc:oracle:dnldthin:@192.0.0.89:1521:oraodbc";
{code}
Even if i mention thin instead of dnldthin in the code it is giving the same error in java console.
the "oraodbc" is the system dsn name. Should i mentioned the system dsn name or should there be some other information.
