XConnection and database drivers

Post by **dberkowicz** » Sun May 02, 2004 2:37 am

I want to be able to initiate a database connection from within a stylesheet using the org.apache.xalan.xslt.XConnection class. Can I do this by including the database driver .jar file in the classpath? This is under os X (Panther).
I know this question sounds obvious but I have not been able to get this to work; and I wondered if the oxygen process is running under an account which does not have the .jar file in its CLASSPATH variable.
Thanks David.

Oxygen loads all the jars that are in the same directory as the file oxygen.jar. So you have to copy the driver into the directory:

oxygen.app/Contents/Resources/Java

Use "Show Package Contents" menu option from the finder in order to open the "Contents" directory.
