Re: Unable to create Oracle datasource on admin gui

Hi Judy

I think we have a more complex problem. The driver may need to be in lib/ext
to make Oracle Toplink work.
Personally I don't use toplink so I can't confirm this.

Maybe a nice to have (and a quick one) is to add a README.TXT file in
lib/ext and say what should and what should not be included there.

regards
Richard
