Error when creating Pool Connection

Question

"Hi,
I have reviewed a lot of postings for this type of error and nothing mentioned in replies have helped me to get over this issue.
I am trying to create a pool via the admin console in WL6.0sp1. Using Oracle Thin driver. The config information is as follows:
Name: MydbPool
url: jdbc:oracle:thin@pavilion:1521:star
driver classname: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Properties: user=bentley; password=flyaway
Initial Capacity: 1
Max Capacity: 2
When I startup WL, I get the following error message:

actually, no, the thin driver reacts badly to being told a server. It tries to
become the type-2 driver and use the Oracle OCI stuff. If the customer can
make a standalone program connect to the DBMS with that driver and URL,
then maybe they need to alter the classpath of the server to have that
driver come before any weblogic stuff. We ship an older version of the
driver, and that may be being used because it's ahead in the classpath.
