Hi Judy and Jagadish
Thanks very much for the info.
Should I file a documentation request to make this clear in the deployment
guide ?
At the moment is says you must install JDBC drivers to lib/ext to take
advantage of Eclipse Link(Page 125)
*This is incorrect, it needs to be in lib as well
From the post Jagadish sent (
http://tinyurl.com/yzkfdwy):*
*Drivers can be placed in domain-dir/lib and they should be placed there.
They can be placed in domain-dir/lib/ext/ as well, but not recommended
unless some one wants to use Oracle driver and Oracle specific extension in
eclipselink. *
*Maybe add :*
If the driver is only in lib/ext the admin GUI does not configure a JDBC
resource correctly. You need to copy the driver in lib as well.
regards
Richard
