Database JDBC Connection will not connect.

[Java_Jasper]

Hello all,

 

After installing IReport I go to make a database conneciton using the following:

JDBC Driver: Oracle (oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver)

JDBC URL: I updated my connection string to reflect my host, port and sid.

After inputing my username and password I go to test and get the following error:

ClassNotFoundError! --> Msg: Oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver --> Possible not found class: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.

 

Why is this error happeing and how do I move foward.

Brian.

Ok,

So, I installed the classpath

Tools --> Options --> Add Jar --> (for me I went to the oracle DB, and under  [  jdbc --> lib ]  and selected the correct ojdbc)

Cheers.
