jdbc:odbc driver connection issues within the db JVM

I need to use the jdbc:odbc driver to access a non-oracle db from a jsp. I am sure my dsn is fine as I can use a non JSP java app to connect to the odbc db. I have loaded the sun.jdbc.odbc classes in the schema I am working in as it is not loaded by default in 9.2.0.7 currently I am on a windows system. I have found the following:

public static void doTest()throws Exception{
// load the local Oracle Driver

DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()); connLocalOracle = new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();

// load the odbc driver

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); //
if I exit at this point the jsp does not through an exception however if I include the line:

connODBC = DriverManager.getConnection(odbcURL,"XX","XX");

I get the error:

SQL> execute do_jdbc_odbc_test;
BEGIN do_jdbc_odbc_test; END;

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.allocConnect ORA-06512: at "TU1.DO_JDBC_ODBC_TEST", line 0 ORA-06512: at line 1

So I am assuming I am loading the driver but the driver is not talking to the odbc configuration in windows.
What permissions would I need to give to the user to allow this connection to occur?
How can I find out if this is indeed the case? If not how can I make this connection happen using ODBC?
