Answer 1

hi
dbgen is your project name? it should be the dsn name that has to be mentioned. Go to control panel->administrative tools>data sources and add the type of driver required.
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
public class TestThinDSApp {
  public static void main(String args[]) throws ClassNotFoundException,
      SQLException {
    // These settings are typically configured in JNDI
    // so they a implementation specific
    OracleDataSource ds = new OracleDataSource();
    ds.setDriverType("thin");
    ds.setServerName("dssw2k01");
    ds.setPortNumber(1521);
    ds.setDatabaseName("orcl"); // sid
    ds.setUser("scott");
    ds.setPassword("tiger");
    Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    ResultSet rset = stmt
        .executeQuery("select 'Hello Thin driver data source tester '||"
            + "initcap(USER)||'!' result from dual");
    if (rset.next())
      System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
    rset.close();
    stmt.close();
    conn.close();
}Hope this helps to some extent..
