JDBC with Netbeans/Oracle

[sehudson]

Hello,

I installed netbeans and oracle xe on my laptop.
I have the ojdbc.jar file, but when I try to start the database I get access is denied.

Also when trying to setup the db connection in netbeans, what goes in host, port, and sid?

I didnt change anything in installation, so I guess the ports are all default

i also have a same query
i have netbeans , oracle 8i installed
now how do i load the driver?
do i need to create a new database for my project
since i had installed oracle few years back
so i dont know the global database name and sid.
are these two needed while creating a connection...
please help...i m very much confused
as earlier i was doing the final year project using jdbcodbc driver
it was simple....
but now my college faculty is saying that i cant use ms access..
