Could not connect to Oracle 8i using jdbc

Question

I am running Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.5 on Windows 2000 Server. I try to compile a sample program using JDK 1.3 and getting the following error message.
Program:
import java.sql.*;
class Hotels
public static void main (String args [])
throws SQLException
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.Driver.OracleDriver ());
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@chandran", "TRAVEL", "TRAVEL");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select NAME from HOTELS");
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));
rset.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
Error Message:
D:\>javac E:\Javaex\Hotels.java
E:\Javaex\Hotels.java:10: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class OracleDriver
location: package Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.Driver.OracleDriver ());
I am New to the JDBC 2.0 and JDK1.3. Could you please anyone guide me how can I overcome this problem. Should you require any additional information please reply me.
Best regards

rdbms 8.1.5 never was certified to run on win 2000.
by the way rdbms 8.1.5 goes out of support on dec 31, 2000.
in addition, oracle products like - the jdbc drivers, rdbms, oas, ias -- are NOT certified to work with jdk 1.3.
if you run into problems, you'll need to reproduce it with jdk 1.2.x and rdbms 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 to have a bug filed.
to be in a supported configuration, you'll need to move to rdbms 8.1.6 or 8.1.7 (preferred) and stick with jdk 1.2.x.
