ClassNotFoundException oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

Question

I know there are thousands of blogs about CNFEs out there, but I can't get it work.

I use Maven to build my GWT project. In the pom.xml, there is this line:

<dependency>
    <groupId>oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
    <version>11.2.0.3</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

In the built .war file, there is the correct .jar in WEB-INF/lib. So the class is where I expect it to be. But I'm still getting a ClassNotFoundException.

Where am I wrong? Is it because of the runtime scope?

well, does it work if you remove the scope? have you updated your maven dependencies? — XtremeBaumer

When do you receive the exception? If it comes during the build then it is surly because of the runtime scope. — Balázs Nemes

The exception is thrown on runtime when I want to access the db. — Franz Deschler

Perhaps you have other versions as well? (other jars, included differently maybe) — Andrei

Check your project build-path and enable specific output folders for each folder. Go one by one through each source-folder of your project and set the output folder that Maven would use.

For eg., your web project's src/main/java should have target/classes under the web project and so.

If your web project require some configuration files that are under the resources, be sure to include that folder as a source folder and to make the proper build-path configuration.

It turned out, that the driver needs to be inside tomcat´s /lib folder.

It has something to do with the DataSource as described in this post:

Tomcat6 ignores web-inf/lib
