Bind Oracle on J2EE

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to Bind Oracle JDBC driver to J2EE and I have no sucess. I try -addJDBC and -addJdbcXADataSource and it returns me (on J2EE startup):
Binding DataSource, name = jdbc/Oracle, url = jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:poderoso
Binding DataSource, name = jdbc/Oracle, url = jdbc/Oracle__xa
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.oracle.classes12
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:198)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
Thanks,
Celso Henrique.

hi Celso,
Steps to add oracle driver + datasource
1. Copy the JDBC driver JAR file (classes12.jar from ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib or download from OTN ) to the $J2EE_HOME/lib/system directory.
2. Add JDBC driver
j2eeadmin -addJdbcDriver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver3. Add the DataSource
j2eeadmin -addJdbcDatasource jdbc/Oracle jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:poderoso4. Update the J2EE_CLASSPATH
Add classes12.jar to J2EE_CLASSPATH
by editing the user configuration script. On UNIX systems the user configuration script is in bin/userconfig.sh, and on Windows it is in bin\userconfig.bat.
5.Restart the J2EE server.
for more info, refer to the Config guide in the doc dir in ur j2ee server install.
Note: if u r using JDK 1.4, use ojdbc14.jar instead of classes12.jar.
