Oracle JDBC Driver - Where should I put

Kevin

Dear all,

Could you please advise where should I put the Oracle JDBC driver
(classes12.zip or classes12.jar) under Windows XP with Tomcat 4.1? Do I
need to set classpath?

Many thanks.

Kevin.

It can go in a number of places. If you're deploying your component as a
servlet it should go in C:\yourTomcatHome\WEBAPPS\yourWebApp\WEB-INF\lib
(1st Choice)

It could also go in C:\yourTomcatHome\lib (2nd Choice)

It could also go in C:\yourJavaHome\jre\lib\ext (Not recommended)

Tomcat 4.1. doesn't have C:\yourTomcatHome\lib folder. The exact folder is
C:\yourTomcatHome\common\lib and rename del zip file to a jar file.

That is: the jar file can only be seen by your web application. Other web
applications and java programs can not see it.
It could also go in C:\yourTomcatHome\lib (2nd Choice)
That is: the jar file can be seen by every other web application deployed in
Tomcat.

That is: the jar file can be seen by every java program
