Question

in java i want to use oracle XMLType.
I add

XMLType type = new XMLType(conn, "<shipTo></shipTo>");

but i always get

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException

why? i am using xdb6.jar for oracle 11 database. For connection i am using JDBC.

Here’s the excerpt from my POM for doing the same (in JBoss):

  <!-- required for Oracle XML support -->
  <dependency>
      <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
      <artifactId>xmlparserv2</artifactId>
      <version>11.2.0.1.0</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
      <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
      <artifactId>xdb</artifactId>
      <version>11.2.0.1.0</version>
  </dependency>

i.e. you need the XDB and XMLParserv libraries.
