Problem connecting to IFS

Question

Hi I was trying to get the following sample program to work using JDK1.1.8
import oracle.ifs.beans.*;
import oracle.ifs.common.*;
import java.util.Locale;
public class ConnectionTester extends Object
public static LibrarySession testConnection()
throws IfsException
LibraryService service = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential("system","manager");
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName("IfsDefault");
connect.setServicePassword("manager");
return service.connect(me,connect);
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
LibrarySession ifs = testConnection();
System.out.println("successfully connected to the database");
ifs.disconnect();
catch (IfsException e)
IfsException.setVerboseMessage(true);
e.printStackTrace();
I'm running it on the following
SunOS edtcprdsun18 5.7 Generic_106541-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
IFS is installed on the same Box as is Oracle
8.1.6
The following is my CLASSPATH
/u2/brian/projects/src/ifstest:/u2/oracle816/OraHome1/ifs/settings:/u2/oracle816
/OraHome1/ifs/jre/lib/rt.jar:/u2/oracle816/OraHome1/ifs/jre/lib/i18n.jar:/u2/ora
cle816/OraHome1/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip:/u2/oracle816/OraHome1/lib/vbjorb.jar:/u

ifs/lib/oemadmin.jar:/u2/IAS/IAS_HOME/Apache/jdk/lib/classes.zip
This does include the JDBC Library
/u2/ora
cle816/OraHome1/jdbc/lib/classes111.zip
I'm getting the following error
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc8 in shared library path

Can anybody help me with this? Thanks,
