Petstore throws populateServlet error with Oracle thin driver

Question

When i point connection pool to Oracle database, i get the following error. The
data is populated in the database, looks like when petstore is enumerating db
tables and make sure all tables exist, this error is happening. Some how, database
metadata coming as NULL. Has anybody tried petstore with Oracle JDBC driver?
thanks,

I believe that you do not have weblogicaux.jar in your classpath.

Im using Solaris 2.7 with WLS 5.1.0 and Commerce Server 2.0.1 with
current service packs on both. JDK 1.2.1_04 and the Oracle thin driver
(classes111.zip which I am told is the only one supported in this
configuration). Has anyone seen this problem? Is it that the driver is
using 1.1 and I only have 1.2 installed?
