Where can I find/download the package that contains: OracleConnectionPoolD

Question

Hi,
I have classes12.zip and can make successful database connections using Oracle's JDBC driver.
However, when I tried to run a connection pooling example - from a text book (called "PooledExample.java") - I got the following error messages...
C:\testdart\testdart\source>javac PooledExample.java
PooledExample.java:5: package oracle.jdbc.driver does not exist
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
^
PooledExample.java:7: package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
import oracle.jdbc.pool.*;
^
PooledExample.java:15: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
location: class PooledExample
OracleConnectionPoolDataSource poolDataSrc =
^
PooledExample.java:16: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
location: class PooledExample
new OracleConnectionPoolDataSource();
^
4 errors
Where can I find/download the package that contains these classes (I'm assuming that there missing)? Is it possible that JDBC 2.0 works for Oracle9i only? (I'm using Oracle8i)
I looked on Oracle's website but its not clear where to download this API
Thanks!!!

Answer 1

They should be in classes12.zip (oracle.jdbc.driver definitely is). It sounds like you don't have classes12.zip in your classpath when you are compiling. Normally you don't use the Oracle classes directly so you only need classes12.zip when running your application but in your case you are directly referring to them in your Java source code so you need them when you compile.
