Coldbox connectivity with Oracle Database

Hi,
After successfully installing commandbox and coldbox for developing applications in CF 2016.
We are having issues in connecting with Oracle datasource.

lucee.commons.lang.ClassException: cannot load class through its string name, because no definition for the class with the specified name [oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver] could be found caused by (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver;java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver not found by lucee.core [64]:wink:

I have the ODBC jar listed in the bundle.

Can someone help to solve this issue?

I’m about to start the framework for my development purpose. I need to confirm to go ahead with this framework by solving this issue.

Hi, this is really a question for a Lucee support forum. It isn’t directly created to ColdBox. I would check and see if you have the correct version of the Oracle JDBC extension installed into Lucee. If you have a snapshot build installed, perhaps downgrade to a stable release of the JDBC extension.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for your reply, I upgraded to Oracle 12C in the Lucee Server Admin and I’m able to connect to my database and retrieve records. I guess the problem is with the Oracle 10G DB
