no ocijdbc9 in java.library.path

Question

When I try to run Java application, I receive the following error:

Exception in thread \"main\" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc9 in j

Answer 1

You need to pass -Djava.library.path=YOUR_ORACLE_HOME\bin to the JRE as a runtime parameter

So....

java [other java switches + runtime parameters] -Djava.library.path=YOUR_ORACLE_HOME\bin run-classname

Answer 2

an additional tip: if you're using oci jdbc urls; it is always better to use the jar library of your oracle client version.

please check this address for these libraries: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

for example if your client is Oracle 10.2.0.4, then you'd better use this client's ojdbc14.jar for java >= 1.4 and classes12.jar for java <= 1.3

note that until Oracle 11, jdbc libraries have the same names in every version such as ojdbc14.jar and classes12.jar.

Answer 3

I think it is because you have not yet installed Oracle Client. After installing it, maybe it is ok

Answer 4

You're missing a file from your java CLASSPATH.

You need to add the OCI jar to your classpath.

For my oracle 10.0.2 install on windows it's located in

%ORACLE_HOME%\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar

If your application requires ocijdbc9 then you'll have to download it from somewhere and add it to the CLASSPATH. I don't know where to download it from, try the oracle site
