No suitable driver with SQL Server Driver

Question

Hi,
i'm making a jsp page that it use a JDBC Connection to a SQL Server with SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC.
I put in JDeveloper Project Settings, Configurations\Development\Libraries, the reference to msbase.jar, msutil.jar and mssqlserver.jar. Alse i put the reference to Oracle JDBC libraries.
The code in jsp page to reference the driver, obtain the DataSource and get the connection is the following:
java.sql.DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver());
javax.naming.Context ic = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
javax.sql.DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource) ic.lookup("jdbc/SQLServerDS");
java.sql.Connection con = ds.getConnection();
I defined the DataSource in data-sources.xml, wich look like:
<data-source class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource" location="jdbc/SQLServerCoreDS" password="<pass>" username="<user>" url="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<server>:1433" xa-location="jdbc/xa/SQLServerXADS" inactivity-timeout="30" connection-driver="com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver" name="SQLServerDS" ejb-location="jdbc/SQLServerDS">
<property name="DatabaseName" value="Northwind"/>
<property name="SelectMethod" value="direct"/>
</data-source>
This compile ok, but when i run the page appears the following error (SQLException):
No suitable driver
After looking so much, i don't find the cause of the problem.
Can anyone helpme?
Thanks

Hi Javier,
Although I don't work with JDeveloper, as far as I know, for OC4J, I believe you need to put the relevant JAR files in the "j2ee/home/lib" subdirectory of the OC4J installation. Unfortunately, since I don't work with JDeveloper, I can't tell you where that would be -- sorry :-(
I suggest that you try asking also in the JDeveloper forum (in case you haven't already :-)
Hope this helps you.
Good Luck,
Avi.
