JD3 ocijdbc8 error

Question

I have downloaded and installed JD3 for evaluation.
When testing the following simple jdbc test I get the following
error:
"F:\orant\ows\4.0\jdk\bin\javaw.exe" -mx50m -
classpath "E:\jdev\myclasses;E:\jdev\lib\jdev-
rt.zip;E:\jdev\jdbc\lib\oracle8.1.5
\classes111.zip;E:\jdev\lib\connectionmanager.zip;F:\orant\ows\4.
0\jdk\lib\classes.zip" package1.Test

public static void main (String args [])
throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException
// Load the Oracle JDBC driver
Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
// Connect to the database
// You can put a database name after the @ sign in the
connection URL.
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@dev8i", "whs_admin", "whs_admin");
// Create a Statement
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select * from events");
// Iterate through the result and print the employee names
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString ("EVENT_ID"));
System.out.println (rset.getString ("PARENT_EVENT_ID"));
I have previously used another IDE (KAWA) and this works fine.
Thanks

Answer 1

Mark,
The OCI drivers require some client-side software. The version
of the OCI client must match the version of the OCI driver you
are using from JDeveloper rather than the version of the
database you are connecting to.
For example, if you are using the 8.1.5 JDBC OCI8 driver to
connect to an Oracle 8.0.5 database, then you need the OCI 8.1.5
client running on the same machine as JDeveloper.
The OCI client software is included in the server distribution
(if you have the database running locally), or from the Oracle
Client software distribution.
If you have either of the above installed locally, then make sure
that ORACLE_HOME is set to the correct location in your
registry.
This is what JDeveloper uses to find the ocijdbc8.dll.
If you have multiple Oracle Homes, you can explicitly set which
one to use from JDeveloper by choosing Tools|IDE Options from the
menu. Click the Environment tab, and choose an Oracle Home from
the drop-down list.
The JDBC thin drivers do not require this client-side piece.
