Unable to load mySql Driver in Java class invoked using bpelx:exec

Question

Hi ,
I am trying to connect to mysql database in my java class.when i run this class in Jdeveloper it loads the driver without any problem.I can chk the log in the Jdev messages area.Now I am invoking this class from the BPEL process through <bpelx activity.But when i run my BPEL process it throws runtime exception "classNotFoundException:unable to load com.mysql.jdbc.Driver".I have set the project properties ->libraries to the class path of the mysql jar file as well.
Now if i try to connect with the Oracle driver then it is working fine.
I know this is a classpath issue.Can anyone tell me if there are some other settings to make it work fine.
the java code :
System.out.println("in getConnection method");
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
System.out.println("loaded Driver :");
String url="jdbc:mysql://ntlv014:3306/wx";
_jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"development","ber1nger");
System.out.println("Got Connection :"+_jdbcConnection.isClosed());                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Answer 1

I think you have 2 options..
either put the jar for the mysql in the classpath on the server...or try something like this :

try to put the jar of the mysql into the suitecase of the bpel.
never seen this coming around...so..it's just a wild guess.
ORABPEL-11622 Could not create/access the TopLink Session
spendem got the same situation...the puts the libraries in the applib-dir
