Hi Sam,

the jdbc driver itself is not part of the jdbc adapter.
It is part of your db installation.

You will need to copy the driver jar from your db installation into the following
directory after you have installed JDBC Adapter:
<IS_ROOT>/packages/WmJDBCAdapter/code/jars

Reload the package WmJDBCAdapter after you copied the file to activate it.
For Oracle you should use the ojdbc14.jar available from Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
