Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null',

[mona anshita]

hi friends..
i m working on developing a web application and want to implement database pooling.

Server:: Tomcat 5.0
DB:: oracle 10g
For database pooling, I used the element <GlobalNamingResources>

After these settings, the Tomcat Admin shows the Data Source Created with name jdbc/PMS

When I run the application and hit the url where the database connection is obtained, I get the following error::

org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null',
Can somebody help me on this ?


Following is my settings.

Hi

Have you checked that the oracle jdbc libraries are in the correct location?

oh and it looks like you are connecting via odbc, not thin or oci, do you mean to do this?
