Oracle Database Discussions

Hello,

I am trying to access Oracle 11g using Java 6 on Windows XP SP3.

Here is the code that I have tried accessing with -

public Connection returnNewDBConnection() {
Connection connection = null;
try {
// Load the JDBC driver
OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();

// Create a connection to the database
String serverName = "localhost";
String portNumber = "1521";
String sid = "testdb";
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:testoracleuser/testoracleuser@" + serverName + ":" + portNumber + ":" + sid;

String username = "testoracleuser";
String password = "testoracleuser";

ods.setURL(url);
connection = ods.getConnection();
} catch (Exception e) {
// Could not find the database driver
e.printStackTrace();
}
return connection;
}

The above code raises the exception as below -

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.i18n.text.converter.CharacterConverterOGS.getInstance(I)Loracle/i18n/text/converter/CharacterConverter;

Searching online for the similar posts about this exception, i could only find problems dealing with ororai18n.jar not included in the build path. I am using Eclipse IDE and I have included orai18n.jar, ojdbc6.jar files already but still no dice.

Please help.
