ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Question

Hello,
(Running NW04SP14)
I am trying to use the jdbc class in my code as follows:
Class.forName("com.sap.portals.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
I am getting a ClassNotFoundException.
Could you please tell me what do I need to do to import this class for all my portal components?
Do I need to physically include a jar file, if so where can I find it?
Should I include a sharing reference in my code?
Thanks.

Hi Detlev,
I'm asking to you about a problem with connection that since many days I'm not able to solve. I hope in your help regarding this.
I have to connect to Oracle DB from an EJB, I used two solution but without success:

Connection con = null;
          Statement stmt = null;
          ResultSet rset = null;
          String connectionURLThin = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@liposv01:1527:PCD";
          String driverClass = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
          String userID = "sappcddb";
          String userPassword = "1qaz2wsx";
          String queryString = "select ordine_modello_sq.nextval from dual";
          int risultato = 0;
          try {
               //check = "start connection";
               Class.forName(driverClass).newInstance();    
               con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURLThin, userID, userPassword);
               stmt = con.createStatement ();
               rset = stmt.executeQuery(queryString);
               if (rset.next()) {
                    risultato = rset.getInt(1);
                    //prog_ordine_seq = new Integer(risultato);
                    //check = "Connessione JDBC avvenuta";
               rset.close();
               stmt.close();
          } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (InstantiationException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {

                    } catch (SQLException e1) {
                         e1.printStackTrace();
          } finally {
