Connecting to Oracle (Driver Class is empty)

[karypid]

Has anyone got JBoss Tools to work with Oracle?

I'm trying to create a Seam project that connects to Oracle 10g. In the "Seam Facet" page of the project creation wizard, I choose "Oracle 10g" as the database type as well as a working connection profile. The wizard complains that:

"Driver Class proberty is empty for selected 'GVPN generic' connection profile"

I have created a database driver definition using both Oracle's DTP plug-in, as well as the Generic JDBC driver options. Both work and can be used in the database development perspective, but can't be used for Seam web projects by JBoss Tools.

P.S. The message is actually spelled incorrectly (proBerty instead of property).

That message occurs if the connection profile is not returning the proper generic properties for us to get the connection class/driver class etc.

Did you use the Generic connection profile ?

Please report the spelling error in jira.

Ok, I've been trying to reproduce this behaviour for the past 3 hours! I've managed to find the concrete circumstances of when this happens. It's weird:

What works: create a connection profile with correct settings. Start the seam project wizard and select that connection profile. No problem at all.

What is broken: edit an existing connection profile and make a change to its settings (e.g. the JDBC connection URL). Start the seam project wizard and you'll see that the "Driver Class" error occurs.

I'm filing bug reports for this and the typo right now.

ok cool.

Unfortunately we probably can't do much about the driver issue since it's DTP's API that is failing...but lets get a reproducable case and we can talk to the DTP guys about it.
