Oracle and JMeter configuration

Hello all,

I'm trying to set up JMeter version 1.9.1,

http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/index.html

for some testing on an Oracle 8.1.7.4 database on Solaris 2.8.  We're running JDK 1.3, which according to the JMeter website should work with JMeter 1.9.

I've unpacked JMeter and copied the Oracle JDBC driver files classes12.zip and nls_charset12.zip into JMeter's lib directory.  However, when I try to run a test case the connection fails with the log error of

jmeter.protocol.jdbc: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

The JMeter JDBC URL settings that I am using are:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@servername:1521:ORACLE_SID
(I've also tried using the IP address)

The JMeter Driver Class setting is:

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

Has anyone out there set up JMeter to run against an Oracle database?  If so, could you share your setup with me? From what I've read in the JMeter archives, it has been done, but it seems that no one has detailed exactly what needs to be done.

Thanks,
Lou Avrami
