Could not find driver class! (3.0.0RC2)

[perja]

Hi, I have checked out jboss-3.0.0RC2 from CVS. What I'm trying to do is to deploy a simple CMP 2.0 entity bean that uses Oracle 8i.

During deployment JBoss complains about that it can't find the driver class. I suppose this means that it can't find the Oracle JDBC driver that I'm using.

I've tried to place classes12.zip in both the lib folder and lib/ext. I guess JBoss will pick up this automagically or do I need to register the classes12.zip archive somewhere?




The log when JBoss tries to deploy my bean:

...

Maybe it would be a good idea to include in the log4j output what driver class JBoss is trying to find?

You should rename classes12.zip to classes12.jar. I think JBoss will only find libs named *.jar

The class it's trying to load is the one from your config, but I agree it would be helpful to see.

You can check your startup log to make sure the driver file is loaded properly. I think the "doesn't load zip" was fixed a long time ago, but I don't have a zip file handy to try with.

Any chance there is extra whitespace around the driver class name?

I got the exact same problem. Have you found out why yet?
I am running jboss3rc2 on windows 2000.
