Check that
1.) Your database driver is compatible with the Java version you are using.
2.) You are running the program with a java version compatible with the compiler version that generated the .class files

Thanks a lot. The problem is I used for connect ojdbc6.jar. I try a ojdbc5.jar and it is OK. Thanks a lot once more.
