title: Creating JDBC Connection with Oracle 10g using jsp
body: <p>I am able to connect to Oracle 10g (using ojdbc14.jar driver) with java. But when I use the same code in a servlet or file with .jsp extension, I am getting class not found exception. I am not able to understand why this is happening. Do we have different connection strings for JDBC in java and jsp? This is what I use to connect to oracle iwith both, java and jsp:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
  String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe";
  //Xe being the database name
  String usr = "username";
  String pwd = "pwd";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Works fine with java but gives error with jsp.</p>
