java - SQLException: No suitable Driver Found for jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/orcl

Question

I am trying to develop a Java EE application that connect to an Oracle database from eb service class but I encounter a

SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/orcl

I have the ojdbc6.jar in the class path and I have also verified that this in the JBoss deployment folder.

My application EAR is composed of a WAR. What is wrong (root cause) with this? Please help.

Connection URL in persistence.xml:

> "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//localhost:1521/orcl"

Answer 1

The "ojdbc.jar" is not in the CLASSPATH of your application server.

Just tell us which application server it is and we will tell you where the driver should be placed.

Edit: I saw the tag jboss so it has to be placed in folder "$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/lib/"
