How to use JDBC to connect Oracle databse

Question

Hi
I try to connect the oracle databse by using JDBC. But I not sure whether is it correct or not because I learnt from the documentation provided by WWW.JAVA.SUN.
I have create a ODBC DSN file call TKS username/password : tem/manager
then I download the source code and enhance a bit as following :
import java.sql.*;
public class CreateCoffees
public static void main(String args[])
     String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:tem/manager@(
     description=(address_list=(
     address=(protocol=tcp)
     (host=192.9.200.8)(port=1521)))(source_route=yes)
     (connect_data=(sid=tks)))";
Connection con;
String createString;
createString = "create table COFFEES " +
"(COF_NAME VARCHAR(32), " +
"SUP_ID INTEGER, " +
"PRICE FLOAT, " +
"SALES INTEGER, " +
"TOTAL INTEGER)";
Statement stmt;
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
     catch(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e)
System.err.print("ClassNotFoundException: ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "tem", "manager");
stmt = con.createStatement();
stmt.executeUpdate(createString);
stmt.close();
con.close();
     catch(SQLException ex)
     {  System.err.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
After that I saved the file as CreateCoffees.java and compiled it
D:\KLTAY\JAVA>javac CreateCoffees.java
CreateCoffees.java:6: unclosed string literal
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:tem/manager@(
^
CreateCoffees.java:10: unclosed string literal
(connect_data=(sid=tks)))";
^
CreateCoffees.java:30: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable con
location: class CreateCoffees
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "tem", "manager");
^
CreateCoffees.java:31: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable con
location: class CreateCoffees
stmt = con.createStatement();
^
CreateCoffees.java:34: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : variable con
location: class CreateCoffees
con.close();
^
5 errors
Please give some advise.Thanks
best regards,

     String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:tem/manager@(
     description=(address_list=(
     address=(protocol=tcp)
     (host=192.9.200.8)(port=1521)))(source_route=yes)
     (connect_data=(sid=tks)))";
After that I saved the file as CreateCoffees.java and
compiled it
D:\KLTAY\JAVA>javac CreateCoffees.java
CreateCoffees.java:6: unclosed string literal
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:tem/manager@(
^
CreateCoffees.java:10: unclosed string literal
(connect_data=(sid=tks)))";
^I would suggest putting all code between the quotesj(") on one line and then attempting to recompile.
