I am having a problem getting iPlanet Application Server 6.0 SP3 to load the Oracle Connection Pool Driver - oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
I am trying to access it through JNDI and that seems to be working, but when the actual class try's to load I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: A. Couldn't load or create 3rd party class: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
at com.netscape.server.jdbc.Driver.connect(Unknown Source)....
Here is the code that it is bombing on:
...
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/" + dsName);
dbConn = ds.getConnection();
...
Notes:
I have the oracle zip file classes111.zip (which contains the driver class) at the end of the app server classpath. (Took it out of the WAR file)
Do I have a classpath issue, should the WAR/EAR contain the classes111.zip file, should zip file not be located at the end of the classpath???
Please help!

check the registry for Software\iplanet\Application server \6.0\DataSource\
under which you should have ur jndi name registered also set up the Databse with db_setup.sh
