I have a library that contains functionality to connect to on oracle database. When I export this library (as a JAR) and use it in the main project, it gives an exception when loading the driver with class.forname. It obviously cannot find the ojdbc driver. I included this driver in the build path and as exported library.
I tested and used the driver directly from the main project, and it work, it connects to oracle db.
Thanks.
The problem is that your driver is a jar file, and when you export the app as a jar file, that driver will be a jar file in a jar file. For that scenario you either need a special classloader or put the driver jar file in the classpath of your main program.
