Oracle XE jdbc driver

[AgileRon]

Just new here.
Have smartclient installed and trying to connect to my local Oracle XE.
tells me jdbc driver is not installed...

where do I get it and how to install against smartclient.

Just wondering: I did not need this when evaluating wavemaker...

Download the driver from Oracle's website. The version you want is dictated by which version of XE you want to connect to. If you then just drop the .jar file into your SmartClient installation's WEB-INF/lib folder and restart the embedded server, it should recognize it.

Thanks ! for the fast response. That promises good...

[AgileRon]

Ok that worked. Thanks: Can connect to Oracle XE now...

We'd love to avoid this extra step, but last time we checked Oracle did not allow their JDBC driver to be bundled. Is it actually present in WaveMaker?

[AgileRon]

Don't know whether wavemaker supplies it or justs point to the directory where it resides.. I removed wavemaker because it did not meet my reqs.

What I did for smartclient is: copy the jar files from the Oracle XE local installation to the dir you supplied and that worked. maybe smartclient can search local system for the jar files and point to there directly...
