Cannot startup connection pool no suitable driver /WLS 6.1 SP4

Question

hi all,
i got a problem in creating a ConnectionPool with weblogic 6.1 sp4.
my connection pool has following config data:
URL:jdbc:oracle:[email protected]:1521:ESECD7
Driver:oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
props
username=aaaa
password=bbbb
in my startWebLogic.cmd i have following classpath:
set PATH=.\bin;%PATH%;c:\bea\wlserver6.1\config\mydomain;c:\bea\wlserver6.1\bin\oci817_8;c:\oracle\ora92\bin;%PATH%
set CLASSPATH=C:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib\classes111.zip;C:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;c:\bea\jolt.jar;c:\bea\joltwls.jar;c:\bea\joltjse.jar
but i keep on gettign the exception Cannot startup connection pool.. no suitable
driver
to me it looks like everything is in classpath...
any ideas?

marcoHi. Read the weblogi startServer script, and the startWLS script it calls. These
scripts build up a string which is added to the java commandline that starts
the server, with an argument -classpath ....... Unless the driver shows up there,
the server doesn't see it.
However, we already include a version of the oracle thin driver. It may not be
the best (it's old), so you will want to make sure you version gets in to the classpath
argument ahead of our stuff, but the old driver would have been invoked...
Therefore, I suspect your URL is not exactly correct. Please verify that this exact URL
works in a simple standalone JDBC program using the driver you want, without any
weblogic code in the picture.
thanks,
