Connection Pool Failure: "No suitable driver"

Question

Hi,
Upon server startup, I get the following result:
<Nov 7, 2001 4:18:32 PM CST> <Error> <JDBC> <Cannot startup connection pool "ora
cleTrufflePool" No suitable driver>
I assumed it was a path problem, but in the startWebLogic.cmd script I've set the PATH and CLASSPATH variables to the same as in a separate command window that can successfully dbping the Oracle db.
One thing I completely don't understand is what the URL value should be for the pool, and I can't see a pattern in the examples and docs I've found on this. Here are my pool settings, at any rate:
Name: oracleTrufflePool
URL: myOracleServerName
Driver Classname: weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver
Properties:
user=user
password=password
server=myOracleServerName
ACLName: user
Password: password
As you can see, I also don't understand whether the Oracle user name and password must be duplicated in the Properties section, or should they really only be listed in the ACLName and Password fields (in the Server Console UI)?
TIA,
Steve

Hi. The issue is that the URL you give is not the URL the driver (weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver)
wants. The URL should be "jdbc:webLogic:oci". The properties user, password and server
will be passed to the driver for conenction attempts. The ACL is for who gets to use the
pool, and the other password entry is only if you need the DBMS password to be encrypted
in the XML. If so, set that password value, and don't have it in the driver properties.
