i have tomcat 4 with oracle 9i, my driver is ojdbc14.jar in c:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\jre\lib\ext\ojdbc14.jar and this path is set in classpath, also i have this driver in c:\jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31\common\lib
my class is:
// Java Document
import java.sql.*;
class TestThinApp {
     public static void main (String args[])
     throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
          //Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
          // or you can use:
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
          Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
          "jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP:1521:vuo","principal","***");
          Statement stmt = conn.createStatement( );
          ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery(
          "select 'Hello Thin driver tester '||USER||'!' result from dual");
          while(rset.next( ))
          System.out.println(rset.getString(1));
          rset.close( );
          stmt.close( );
          conn.close( );

Answer 1

but i have sdk 1.4 and my java_home is
c:\j2sdk1.4.2_08 but when i do java -version it says
java version 1.3.1_01.. and my path variable have c:
\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin.... so what must i do to have java
version 1.4... if i have installed jdk 1.4.... ?Your PATH variable has a bunch of other directories in it too, no? Obviously one of those directories ahead of the \j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin directory must have version 1.3.1_01. My guess? It's probably in the \windows or \windows\system32 directory. I'd suggest you delete it from there (I don't know what installer puts it there, but it doesn't belong there).
