Oracle driver problem

Posted by G.Salai Sivamal on June 04, 2001 at 6:03 AM

> Hi,

> I wrote some code that connects to an Oracle database and grabs and displays an XML Clob. If, using Visual Cafe, I compile the project as an application that needs java.exe to run, it works fine. If I compile the project as a stand alone exe then I get a message that says

> java.lang.noClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/driver/OracleDriver

> I also tried writing this using Visual J++ but that program doesn't seem to like the Clob datatype.

> Any idea why I can't get this to run as a stand alone application?

> Thanks in advance

It doesn't matter what development tool, y are using ?

The classpath might not be set properly.

Set the directory path of the oracle directory.

Ex, C:/someName/oracle/jdbc/driver/OracleDriver...etc

Append the the CLASSPATH with C:/someName

while using the java.exe

y need to give as like,

java -cp .;%CLASSPATH%;C:/someName javaProgramName
