Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

Question

I created a web application with ojdbc14.jar in lib folder.

However, when I start my tomcat I get an error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundExcepti         


        

Answer 1

Are you sure it exists inside webapps/yourapp/WEB-INF/lib folder? It is bound to throw that exception if it can't be seen in that specific directory.

How do you deploy out of eclipse? Do you export a WAR file and deploy? Verify that your WAR file contains ojdbc14.jar in the specified location.

Answer 2

Please make sure that the jar goes to the tomcat or tamcat gets the reference to the jar. you can do it following ways. 1) as mentioned by Adarsh, put the jar file in WEB-INF/lib folder. 2) in the run-configuration of your tomcat, click on ClassPath and then click on User Entity and then click on add jar where u can select the jar and add it.
