Connection Pool between Oracle10g Express Edition and Glassfish V3

[Gaurav Dighe]

Hi,
I am developing application, where i am already connected with Oracle 10G Express Edition using Oracle Thin Driver.

Now I am trying to create the connection pool in glassfish v3.
When I ping my connection pool I am getting Error: Wrong Class Path

Following are the steps i took in Glassfish:

1. Create new connection pool
2. i named it as: AffablebeanPool
3. Database vendor name: Oracle
4. Resource Type: javax.sql.DataSource
5. DataSource Class: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource --------------it comes automatically


My Oracle 10G Express Edition Attributes are as follows:
Database Name: XE

host: localhost
port number: 1521
DatabaseURL: jdbcracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE
UserId: affablebean
password: admin


I searched in Glassfish v3 Administration guide, but only found it for Oracle 11.

Please assist me with right steps.

It woul be helpful, if snapshots with Glassfishv3 is also posted here

I think jar file for driver is not in the lib folder of glassfish . Just do that and restart see if it works.

thnx. but could you tell me the importance of adding jar files in glassfish.

actually .... the implementation classes might not be present so you need to have the jar files in the classpath.
