Connecting to Oracle XE using ANT

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to oracle 10g XE through ANT. Here is the ANT build.xml
<project name="MyOracleProject" default="all">
<sql
driver="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521/XE"
userid="hr"
password="hr">
insert into utsav values (1,2);
commit;
</sql>
</project>
I am not aware what all settings need to be done. But, I am getting this error, when running ant.bat from command prompt
C:\Program Files\CruiseControl\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin>antrun.bat
C:\Program Files\CruiseControl\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin>ant.bat
Buildfile: build.xml
BUILD FAILED
C:\Program Files\CruiseControl\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin\build.xml:6: Class Not Found
: JDBC driver oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver could not be loaded
Total time: 0 seconds
Can anybody please help me resolve this?
Thanks in anticipation.

Answer 1

Tell me, is it really an uncommon requirement. I am using Cruise Control to deploy my oracle project and Ant as a build tool. Have you used Cruise Control ever? Would you do things differently. by the way this worked:
<project name="Parrot" default="build">
<target name="build">
<sql
driver="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe"
userid="hr"
password="hr"
delimiter="/"
keepformat="true"
>
<classpath>
     <pathelement location="C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar"/>
</classpath>
<path>
Thanks a lot for pointing the missing part.
