I'm sure my question has been asked several times before, but I can't
seem to find a fitting thread with the solution in this forum. Hope
any of you has the patience to guide me through this.

I am "educating myself on technology", as it says on the respective
IBM sites, so I downloaded a WebSphere Application Server v7 (base
trial) and am experimenting with this now. I deployed a simple
application which makes a connection to an Oracle Express DB (10g
Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0) - that works, so I must have
gotten something right. (Both the App-Server and the DB are running
on localhost. For previous experiments I have changed Oracle's
listener port to 1621 - in case anyone wonders.)

Now I am trying to test the oracle-connection with a stand-alone
java-program I found on the net and I can't get the thing to
acknowledge the driver: Where does this ojdbc14.jar go ???

Here's the program:

    /**
     * OracleConnectionUrl.java
     * Copyright (c) 2007 by Dr. Herong Yang. All rights reserved.
     */

    import java.sql.*;
    //import oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver;

    public class OracleConnectionUrl {
      public static void main(String [] args) {
...
I keep getting "Exception: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" from the prog.
I'm sure this is just some minor fault but I am absolutely stuck.
Any help much appreciated, thanks in advance
