Ojdbc14 can't load driver

Question

Hi,
I built an application using among others the ojdbc14.jar - working "perfectly" in eclipse.
But when I create a jar - I receive an "Class-not-found-Exception", when the
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); is invoked.
I tried using newInstance() but it didn't work.
The classpath seems to be correct:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
     <classpathentry kind="src" path=""/>
     <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/>
     <classpathentry kind="lib" path="ojdbc14.jar"/>
     <classpathentry kind="output" path=""/>
</classpath>I also "included" the jar(s) in the manifest:
Bundle-ClassPath: ojdbc14.jarwhen I use instead of the "...getName()..."
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());I don' receive the ClassNotFoundError"- but the jar doesn't do anything (seems like hanging-up)
Of cause they are included in the jar. ;)
So - where is the bug? Do I have to use another command than the
forName to load the driver?
Thanks for any tip.

Answer 1

DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
String jdbcURL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@"
+"192.168.0.96"//jdbcHost
+":1521"//port
+":db12"//service name
//Another format: DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@","user", "passwd");
should work normally. If not, try to download a JDBC packag from Oracle site.
