I can connect Ok to Oracle 8 using the THIN driver like

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@111.112.113.114:1521:oracle",
"username", "password");

but when I try to use the Oci7 driver I cant connect

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"); DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci7:@Alias", "username",
"password");

Alias is defined in the network/admin/tnsnames.ora and tnsping alial can locate the servet, also sqlplus can connect using the alias.

Another problem, I cant find Oci8 anywhere, does anyone know where I can get it ?

Thanks,
Mike.
