JDBC using Oracle with Servlets

[Anonymous]

I am trying to access a database from Oracle through servlets.
I have a Oracle ODBC Driver in my ODBC32 , if I Add that driver it doesn't ask me for DSN, Description and a Database directory as I get in MS Access. I have given class and getconnection statements like below
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.Oracle ODBC Driver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle:thin:cc939767-a:8080:ORCL","","");
I created a table with Oracle 8i . What else do I need?
Do I have to download some other driver ?
In getconnection I have given my computer name(cc939767-a:8080)and the port , is it correct?
Please help me with this .............

thanks

I guess for Oracle you have to use the JDBC driver ( not the ODBC:JDBC driver ). You can get this from Oracle web site.
I am NOT sure this is the ONLY solution, but when I coded my servlet to connect to Oracle 8i I have used the JDBC driver.

Your URL is wrong:

con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle:thin:cc939767-a:8080:ORCL","","");

and should read
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle:thin:@cc939767-a:8080:ORCL","","");
and most likely the port should be 1521 and not 8080, as this is the port used by Oracle, not the webserver or HTTP proxy.
And you indeed need the JDBC driver, version 8.1.6 or later (classes12.zip or newer).

You need to find 'classes11.zip'. This file contains the oracle thin client drivers for jdk ver 1.2. Add this file to you CLASSPATH.
In you program... add the following code.
// localhost is ip address of host name
// portname is most often 1521
// sid or system id
// UID is user id
// PWD is password
String url = "jdbc racle:thin:@localhost :portname:sid";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "UID", "PWD");
Hope this helps
p.s. There is more than one way to code the url for oracle THIN and OCI jdbc drivers. This URL format has work for me...

download the thin drivers from the url : http://technet.oracle.com/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/software_index.htm
and the code should be in the connection part should be
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
//(jdbc racle:thin:@systemname ort:sid withrespectto oracle);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle:thin:@intranet:1521 racle","scott","tiger");

it will work.
