How to set the oracle oci8 driver?

Question

hello all:
I've set up the oracle thin driver and it works. but when I change to
oci8.it don't work
below is config and errors:
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
InitialCapacity="5" LoginDelaySeconds="5" MaxCapacity="15"
Name="ocipool"
Properties="user=yanji;password=yanji"
Targets="myserver" URL="jdbc:oracle:oci8:@pg01"/>
Could not load 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
If this is a type-4 JDBC driver, it could occur if the JDBC
driver is not in the system CLASSPATH.
If this is a type-2 JDBC driver, it may also indicate that
the Driver native layers(DBMS client lib or driver DLL)
have not been installed properly on your system
or in your PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by one of the following:
1. The native layer SO, SL, or DLL could not be found.
2. The file permissions on the native layer SO, SL, or DLL
have not been set properly.
3. The native layer SO, SL, or DLL exists, but is either
invalid or corrupted.
For more information, read the installation documentation
for your JDBC Driver, available from:

Hello, Jenny I am glad you found your resolution. I too am having problems isung
the oracle 0CI8 driver. My connection pool is creating fine, but my server is
crashing with JVM errors.
Here are my configurations.
DBase=Oracle 8.1.7,OS=Win2000, running 6.1 with Portal 4.0
pool config =
<JDBCConnectionPool CapacityIncrement="0"
DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" InitialCapacity="5"
MaxCapacity="5" Name="ccConPool"
Properties="jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:oci8:@servername:1521:orcl;user=XXXXX;password=XXXXXX;dll=ocijdbc8;server=orcl;protocol=oci8;dll=ocijdbc8;protocol=oci8"
RefreshMinutes="0" Targets="portalServer"
TestTableName="WIP_TABLE" URL="jdbc:oracle:oci8:@servername"/>
My classpath sets my classes12.zip file first. My path sets %WEBLOGIC_HOME%\bin\oci817_8
and %WLCS_ORACLE_HOME%\bin.
Am I setting the right dll and protocol in my .dll? Where can I find documentation
on these properties definitions?

hello all:
I've got the answer. those all because weblogic.jar. this jar include
the
class "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver".
although I put the classes12.zip into the CLASSPATH.but the weblogic.jar
in
front of classes12.zip.so classloader
load the class from weblogic.jar. so I can use thin driver(weblogic
implements this function with class,but not for oci8 )
..this is really a big pitfall !
put the classes12.zip in front of weblogic.jar .all perfect!

hello all:
below is some chapters of my config.xml and startWeblogic.cmd
the oci8 :
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
InitialCapacity="5" LoginDelaySeconds="5" MaxCapacity="15"
Name="ocipool" Password="{3DES}J3XuQd6cvvw="
Properties="user=yanji;password=yanji;dll=ocijdbc8;protocol=oci8"
Targets="myserver" TestTableName="test"
URL="jdbc:oracle:oci8:@pg01"/>
the thin :
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
InitialCapacity="5" LoginDelaySeconds="5" MaxCapacity="15"
Name="citcpool" Password="{3DES}J3XuQd6cvvw="
Properties="user=yanji;password=yanji"
SupportsLocalTransaction="true" Targets="myserver"
URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@sune250:1521:pg01"/>
:runWebLogic
echo on
set ORACLE_HOME=e:\oracle
set PATH=./bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\lib;%PATH%
set
CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;.\lib\dom.jar;.\lib\xml
4j.jar;.\lib\jecf.jar;%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip
echo off
the thin driver is ok,but the oci driver can not work!
if I've set the wrong CLASSPATH or PATH , the thin driver and oci8driver
must have not worked. I confused!

Its not CLASS_PATH it should be CLASSPATH.
when you say oracle\bin and oracle\lib , on what driver is the oracle
folder?I meant to say 'on what drive' not 'on what driver'
you have to specify the full path.
post your startup script here.

hello all:
I've set the ORACLE_HOME,and CLASS_PATH,but nothing changed. I will
go
to
crazy!!!
when startup the weblogic,I've seen the oracle\bin and oracle\libin th
"path" and classes12.zip in the CLASS_PATH.but the errors stillappears!!

1. Dont copy this file oci8jdbc.dll, to bin folder. Make sure
you
place
<oracle_home>\lib in your PATH before starting the server. Make
sure
your
ORACLE_HOME environment varable is set to <oracle_home> folder.
eg. set ORACLE_HOME=c:\ora816 before starting the server.
so you must have done something like
set ORACLE_HOME=c:\ora816
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%ORACLE_HOME%\lib;%PATH%
2. double check if you set your CLASSPATH something like this,
CLASSPATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\classes12.zip;%CLASSPATH%
in the server startup script just before starting the server.
3. start the server the connection pool should work.

hello All:
I've edited the StartWeblogic.cmd, set the classes.zip into CLASSPATH,and
copied the oci8jdbc.dll to the bea\wlserver6.1\bin. errors stillappears!
my weblogic version is 6.1 and oracle is 8.1.6 .
why the thin driver is ok but the oci driver can not work?
I logined in the oracle website and look for the jdbc.but I find
that
jdbc
all provide for jdk1.2 or jdk1.1. because the weblogic6.1 based
jdk1.3.
I
think i can not use those drivers.
I think my oracle driver is ok,because i installed the jboss and
bas4.5
in
my computer. they all can use oci8 driver properly.and they all
based
jdk1.3.
by the way. I 've tryed added the oracle\bin path inStartWeblogic.cmd,
nothing changed !
again below is my config : I want to know whether my config right?
(the property DLL and Protocal auto added by the weblogic)
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
InitialCapacity="5" LoginDelaySeconds="5" MaxCapacity="15"
Name="ocipool"
Properties="user=yanji;password=yanji;dll=ocijdbc8;protocol=oci8"
Targets="myserver" URL="jdbc:oracle:oci8:@pg01"/>
best regards

To use oracle oci8 driver:
You should have classes12.zip in weblogic classpath.
You should have ocijdbc8.dll in your weblogic path..
You can download ocijdbc8.dll from oracle website.

If this is a type-4 JDBC driver, it could occur if the JDBC
driver is not in the system CLASSPATH.
If this is a type-2 JDBC driver, it may also indicate that
the Driver native layers(DBMS client lib or driver DLL)
have not been installed properly on your system
or in your PATH environment variable.
This is most likely caused by one of the following:
1. The native layer SO, SL, or DLL could not be found.
2. The file permissions on the native layer SO, SL, or DLL
have not been set properly.
3. The native layer SO, SL, or DLL exists, but is either
invalid or corrupted.
