Unable to use oracle oci driver with WAS 4.0 !!!1

[Se Ravin]

Hi,
I am trying to use oracle oci driver with WebSphere 4.0.1 running on Solaris and it fails with the error "ora 12154" when trying to make the connection,it works fine with the thin driver.
I have configured the LD_LIBRARY_PATH correctly in startupServer.sh apart from configuring the
classes12.zip in the AppServers CLASSPATH.
My oracle version is 8.1.7
Do i need to do any other stuffs,
Thanx in Advance,
Senthil

Hi Guys,
The problem got fixed,the issue being our DBA failed to install the required support files for oci driver.Anyway it was a good opportunity to
learn somestuff about the drivers and their pros and cons.
However i found one contradicting issue,
some sites quote thin drivers are the best and some sites quote oci drivers are the best.Any ideas folks?
