JBDC problem in Java 1.3 Applet

Question

I am using win2000, oracle 9i, JDBC driver for Oracle 8.17, Java 1.3.
When I programmed a JDBC application, works fine. When I transfers that to applet, I got "java.NoClassDefFound: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()"
But it is configured in the CLASSPATH and applications can find it.
This is the relative code:
DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
BTW whne I use Visual cafe and configure that in Environment setting. It works.
So tthe proble seems to be: [JAVA]/bin/ appletViewer.exe didn't go to the windows OS to look at the CLASSPATH, right? (But it can find the classes in the same package!)
Thanks for any comments.

You'll only see something in the console/log if something is put there. :)
It will capture any output to System.out and System.err, includiing stack traces. But if your application doesn't put messages on these channels, and no exceptions are thrown, you won't see anything (of value) in the log.
You had mentioned your application is 'freezing'. This could be caused by a number of things that wouldn't result in a stack trace. It could be a thread deadlock/starvation. You could be blocking on a resource that isn't getting loaded. There may be a badly implemented Applet lifecycle method that's causing the browser JVM to choke.
Without being able to replicate this, or change the code, I'm afraid you're in for some major headaches. :(
