ClassNotFoundException JDBCDriver for oracle

I am trying to configure a jsp/servlet application with tomcat 4.0.6 . The database is Oracle8i. THe problem is, its not able to find the driver.
I get a ClassNotFoundException as below. I have class12.zip and classes111.zip in my TOMCAT_HOME/lib, TOMCAT_HOME/common/lib. I also have them in my classPath. Please help.
I start the application using the command
C:\jdk1.3.1_01\bin\java.exe -jar -Duser.dir="C:\tomcat" "C:\tomcat\bin\bootstrap.jar" start
THE ERROR IS AS FOLLOWS:

Hi All,
I have another question. I am using Tomcat 4.0.6 on windows. I have system.out's in my application. I want them to direct them to a file instead of appearing on the dos window that starts up tomcat. How do I do it. Any comments/suggestions are highly appreciated. \
I have the following for my <Logger> in server.xml
<Context path="/tktmgr" docBase="tktmgr"
debug="0" reloadable="true">
<Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
directory="logs" prefix="tktmgr_log." suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
</Context>
I see the tktmgr_log.txt file, but it has only a few lines like the following
2003-06-06 13:59:00 WebappLoader[tktmgr]: Deploying class repositories to work directory C:\tomcat4.0\work\Standalone\localhost\tktmgr

My system out's are still on the screen. Pls help.
Thanks.

this is the setting in resource.properties:
jdbcDataSource.5.name=jdbc/Oracle
jdbcDataSource.5.url=jdbc\:oracle\:thin\:@nicole\:1521\:NICOLE
jdbcDriver.1.name=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
this is my classpath setting:
%J2EE_HOME%\lib\j2ee.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\system\cloudscape.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\system\cloudutil.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\cloudscape\RmiJdbc.jar;%J2EE_HOME%\lib\system\classes12.jar;.
since i already declare classpath for oracle JDBC Driver (classes12.jar), why the program still can't found the oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver? please help. thanks.

Choosing jdbc driver for Oracle 9.0.1 with sdk 1.4.1?

Hi all experts...
I am really beating my head over this... I had java sdk 1.3.1 installed and i am writing an application for oracle database 9.0.1 The driver i had was a classes12.zip file that i included in the classpath to run the application.
Now, i have upgraded my java to 1.4.1 but my application is not picking up the zip file anymore! I am getting No suitable driver:08001 error and NoClassDefFoundError. I checked the oracle website, they dont have a 9.0.1 driver for sdk 1.4.
Is my current driver compatible?
Do i have to upgrade my oracle DB to 9.2 and use another driver?
Or is just one of those classpath problems?
Part of my code is given below:
private static Statement createStatement(String driver, String url, String user, String password)throws IllegalArgumentException, SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
if (url == null || driver == null)
     throw new IllegalArgumentException("No database specified");
try
Class.forName(driver);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
System.out.println("Class not found: "+driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
return conn.createStatement();
CLASSPATH=C:\projects\MauiWSxml\resources\classes12.zip;
I will be grateful to any help ...Pleeeeessseeee
Thanks in advance

Great progress! Excellent!
I'd recommend that you get rid of that CLASSPATH system variable immediately. Don't use it anymore.

}Put this code in a directory with your classes12.zip. Type:
javac -d . -classpath classes12.zip DataConnection.javaYou should get a DataConnection.class file in that directory. Then type:
java -classpath classes12.zip DataConnection <sql> oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:1521:<database> <username> <password>where <sql> is any SQL statement that will work against your Oracle instance, <host> is the database server, <database> is the Oracle instance, <username> and <password> give you access to Oracle. (DON'T type the chevons <> - I just included them for illustration.)
If that won't connect, change the name of classes12.zip to classes12.jar and try again.
This WILL work. - MOD

You don't need a DSN if you use Oracle's JDBC driver.
You didn't read ANY of the previous replies. What makes you think this one willk help? Or any instruction, for that matter?

Java.sql.SQLException[Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle][Oracle]

I have just installed Oracle8i and i m trying to connect a project to d database using ODBC. I gave
Driver class name as sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection Info as jdbc:odbc:dbgen dbgen is my project name
Database name as Oracle
Username as scott
Password as Tiger
i am getting this exception
java.sql.SQLException[Microsoft][ODBC Driver for Oracle][Oracle]
can ne one help me out plz???

hi
dbgen is your project name? it should be the dsn name that has to be mentioned. Go to control panel->administrative tools>data sources and add the type of driver required.
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
public class TestThinDSApp {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException,
      SQLException {
    // These settings are typically configured in JNDI
    // so they a implementation specific
    OracleDataSource ds = new OracleDataSource();
    ds.setDriverType("thin");
    ds.setServerName("dssw2k01");
    ds.setPortNumber(1521);
    ds.setDatabaseName("orcl"); // sid
    ds.setUser("scott");
    ds.setPassword("tiger");
    Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rset = stmt
        .executeQuery("select 'Hello Thin driver data source tester '||"
            + "initcap(USER)||'!' result from dual");
    if (rset.next())
      System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
    rset.close();
    stmt.close();
    conn.close();
}Hope this helps to some extent..

Compatibility of Weblogic 6.1 Oracle Thin Driver for Oracle 9i. - URGENT Reply Needed..Thanks.

Hi, We are using Weblogic 6.1. We are currently using JDBC Oracle Thin Driver (ClassName
: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver) that is built into Weblogic 6.1 (weblogic.jar).
Our database is Oracle 8.1.7.4. We want to upgrade to Oracle 9i (Oracle version
9.2.0.4). I would like to know the compatibility of this built-in Driver for Weblogic
6.1 with Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) and can I continue to use the same JDBC driver. Also
we have plans to upgrade our Weblogics to 8.1 version. Can we continue to use
the same Oracle Thin driver that comes as part of WLS 8.1, for Oracle 9.2.0.4.
I need this reply ASAP. I appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks, Venkatesan.

Thank you very much for your reply.

Hi. The driver we shipped will still work with the later DBMS, but there
have been many improvements and fixes to Oracle's dirver since then,
so I highly recommend that you download Oracle's latest appropriate
thin driver, and make sure it gets into the -classpath argument that
the weblogic startup script creates for the server.
Every release of weblogic will tend to include the latest oracle
thin driver available at the time, so the 8.1 will contain a newer one
than
the 6.1.

Read only user creation for Oracle EM Console 11.1.1.5

Dear All.
I have created Read only user for Oracle EM Console.
I have followed below link to do the same
http://moshe-soa.blogspot.com/2011/09/blog-post.html.
I have noticed with read only user is that TEST button in EM Console is active means user with read only user can create a trans, in Prod scenario it is a risk.
Raised a CR with Oracle and found that it is a bug
Bug 14082464 - CANNOT DISABLE TEST/TEST WEB SERVICE BUTTON IN SOA EM COSOLE is there in Metalink.
So my question is there any way by which i can disable the TEST button in EM Conasole.
I think there are some WLST script or servlet java class available to resolve this issue.
Can any one confirm this and please suggest if any one aware of any alternative method.
Thanks,

Hi, have you got any solution to this problem? I am having exact the same issue in 11.1.1.6.

Error BACKINT for Oracle Connection

hi @ maxdb gurus...
i have a problem backing up my maxdb 7.6.0.033 (serving for a mysap.erp2005 on aix 5.3) using the backint mechanism.
-> backup media created: two pipes and one parallel medium containing these pipes
-> bsi.env has been created
-> backint4sapdb.sar contains
   4 staging areas each with 4096 MB
   files per backint call 2
-> maxdb is about 57 gb perm. data area (and 6 gb temp.)
i use the backup wizard (dbmgui) to invoke a complete data backup which starts (pipes are created in the file system) and runs until approx. 4 gb...then the backup terminates with error "-24920 backup operation was unsuccesful. The database request failed with error -8020"
what might be the problem? are the staging areas too small? is says that when using only one stage area it must hold the complete database...can i then conclude that 4 staging areas must hold the database as well - meaning they must be around 15 gb each?
GreetZ, AH

yup...but that also means that the sum of the staging areas need as much space as the database ie. around 70 gigs netto! the staging files will be filled and thus grow until the defined size, meaning that the file system(s) need to be big enough!
everything works fine until the stage files are filled (up to the defined size) and then stops...when i change the sizes of the staging areas i can reproduce the error!
i compared the tsm implementation of that system with another system (live cache...kind of small regarding db size...) and found nothing serious...

Need help for learning how to develop interfaces for Oracle R12 EBS

Hi all,
I need to learn how to create interfaces in PL/SQL for Oracle R12 EBS Financials. I cannot find a good starting point for the documentation and examples to help me get started in this area. Would appreciate tips
for this area.

Hi,
What kind of interfaces you are planning to develop?
Oracle already provides list of APIs that can be used (in R12, it is responsibility).
Oracle Integration Repository Documentation Resources Release 12 [ID 396116.1]
Oracle Integration Repository
http://irep.oracle.com/index.html
If those APIs do not satisfy your requirements, you can refer to "Oracle Applications Developer" guide as well as SQL-PL/SQL guides.
Applications Releases 11i and 12
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/applications-167706.html
Database Documentation -- SQL-PL/SQL

Thanks,
Hussein

Using a SQL for Oracle in Microsoft Excel Query

I am having the most difficult time (in fact, I can't get it to work) trying to use an SQL I created in Toad for Oracle. It works fine in Toad for Oracle...gives me all the data I need. I am trying to use it in Excel for users that don't know SQL or Oracle so they can use the query to extract data they need for Charts, Graphs, etc.
Here is the SQL code from Toad for Oracle:

       )Can someone help me...maybe point out what I'm doing wrong.
Note: I also tried creating this query in Microsoft Query (the simple way) and when I first create it...it works...But then if I go back in to edit the query, and refresh the query or try to Return data to Excel, it gives me a ORA-00936 error message.
Why it works when I first create the query in Excel, I don't know. But I have to validate the queries I'm creating (SQL or not) and I can't validate it if every time I go into edit the query (which may have to happen; that's why I have to fix this before I can submit my validation).
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, I know I'm replying to my own threads here...but I want to add a little bit more information again.
I was successful in figuring out that changing the :criteria to a ? worked.
I tested this on 1 criteria at a time. Adding one more scenario ? at at time.
It only worked up until about 3 scenarios of each criteria.
Then when I refreshed the query in Microsoft Excel Query, I got an "out of memory" error, and then it ended up just erasing the SQL I had been using.
Here's the SQL I had where it gave me this error. Am I possibly just making Excel work too hard? It just doesn't make sense because Toad for Oracle handled it in like 4 seconds. Which brings me back to an intial question I had. Can Excel use Toad for Oracle somehow?
Here's the code:
SELECT a_compl_summary.incident_number, a_compl_summary.case_number,
       a_compl_summary.part_sequence, a_compl_summary.part_number,
       a_compl_summary.lot_number, a_compl_summary.alert_date,

DBAShell - New Open Source Project for Oracle DBA's

I'd like to have this project included in the Open Source Oracle tools list at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/community/opensource_projects.html
I've been an Oracle DBA for quite some time (since 7.0.13) and a developer for many years. One of the things I've always wished for was an easier way to set up environment variables for different Oracle Homes and a way to provide passwords to scripts without embedding them in plain-view.
About 3 years ago, I started a set of functions and scripts at my company that did exactly just that and provided many more functions for things like checking database status, running scripts quietly unless errors are detected, running actions in parallel (like fast shutdowns at once, or multiple analyzes), restarting databases in a guaranteed fashion, aliases to common folder locations, etc..
About a month ago, after putting all this time and effort into these scripts and using them in production all this time, I realized I wanted more out of the scripts like support for other databases and thought that it would be best if I gave it new life as an Open Source project.
So that is how http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbashell/ was started. Now its in a second release (DBAShell 0.85) that is more modular and would allow other people to easily add support for other OSs, other Shells, and other Databases.
Here is a description of the project from the latest news item:
DBAShell is a project based around Shell functions and scripts designed to make it easy for DBA's to use Databases in a command line environment. Currently supported is Oracle with ksh and bash on AIX, Solaris, Linux. The code base itself is 3 years old and has been in use in Production environments all of that time.
Features include:
* Automatic setting of all environment variables based on SID requested.
* Manage PATH's and other path like variables for each ORACLE_HOME needed.
* Run scripts with stored passwords (no more hard-coding of passwords!!)
* Automatically set SID based on Script location (makes it easier to share scripts between SID's)
* manage temporary script output and check for oracle errors in output
* check database status and versions from scripts
* stop/start databases in parallel (faster startup)
* compile all database objects
* analyze objects in parallel (Faster analyzes)
* set aliases and variables for common SID areas, etc..
* many helpful commands for common Oracle tasks
Over a thousand people have already downloaded the prior release and more are downloading every hour.
I'm seeking feedback from anybody that would be willing to take a look at the project, trying it out, give me any feedback you have on it, and perhaps even direct me to where I could best promote this project.
I wrote a tutorial that shows at a glance some of the more useful features of DBAShell:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=34041&group_id=170224

Always glad to have people thinking about the poor DBA's. Usually, the developers get most of the attention in open source.
