Re: Unable to create Oracle datasource on admin gui

Hi guys,


In the past years I have been using both GF2 and GF3 with Oracle
databases only. The Oracle JDBC driver needs to be either in <gf
install>/lib or <gf install>/domains/domain1/lib and NOT in <gf
install>/domains/domain1/lib/ext even when EclipseLink or TopLink is
used. If it is put in lib/ext (and nowhere else) GF won't be able to
find it and it doesn't make a difference if you put it in lib/ext as
well or not. Please let this be clear now :-)


Thanks, Wouter
