Re: newbie to java oracle

Your client install should have included the JDBC drivers. To verify, make sure that they are in %ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib. Then, add the appropriate driver(s) to your CLASSPATH environment variable. There really isn't any difference if this is a servlet or not. What makes big difference is if this is an applet that uses the thin drivers or can you use the thick drivers.
