I'm trying to connect to a database from a servlet.

I would like to use :
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

followed by :
"con=DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:oracle:thin:@DBNAME:1533", "user","password");

but I can only use "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" followed by :
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:DB","User", "Password");

why is that?
the error massage is "could not load driver..."
