Unable to load Oracle Driver

[shantanu.rathore]

Hi

I wish to connect to Oracle but I am unable to load the required JDBC driver.

The following is the code for my program:-
import java.sql.*;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;

/**
*
* @author Shantanu
*/
public class Main {

public Main(){


}
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main (String[] args)throws Exception {

try
{
//ESTABLISHING A DATABASE CONNECTION
//Loading the JDBC driver
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").n ewInstance();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
throw e;
}

}
}
I got the following exception:-
Error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
at TestConnection.main(TestConnection.java:24)

Following are my Classpath and Path details:-
CLASSPATH: C:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar;C:\oracle\ora 92\jdbc\lib\classes12.jar;C:\oracle\ora92\jdbc\lib \classes111.jar;

PATH: C:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\bin;C:\Program Files\JavaFX\javafx-sdk1.2\emulator\bin;C:\bea\jdk142_04\bin;C:\oracle \ora92\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\bin;C:\Program Files\Oracle\jre\1.1.8\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;% SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\PROGRA~1 \XRay;

Am I missing out something here? Why can I not load the required driver when the JAR paths have been specified in the CLASSPATH?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Are you using Netbeans? You might need to add it to the project's build path inside Netbeans.
