Java Programming

Hello All,

I am writing this simple program which connects to Oracle DB ( 10.2 ). The Java version I have is 1.5.0_13 . I do have oracle client installed. When I run the below code ...I get error

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:268)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
        at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
        at OraThin.main(OraThin.java:13)

The code I have is :

import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
 
 
public class OraThin {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
System.out.println(System.getProperty ("java.class.path") );
 
 
      Connection con=null;
      Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
      con=DriverManager.getConnection(
        "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:15282:ServiceName",
        "scott",
        "tiger");
      Statement s=con.createStatement();
      s.execute("SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL");
      s.close();
      con.close();
 
  } catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}
 }
}

Please suggest as to what am I missing, I am not that well versed with Java.

Thanks in advance,

Sam
