Answer 1

I was having the same issue. What you need is to include the ojdbc6.jar file in the Deployment Assembly of the Project:

1. Right click on the project
2. select "Properties"
3. Select "Deployment Assembly" tab
4. Add your ojdbc6.jar file in it..

...and the problem is solved.

Answer 2

You can try this by adding your jar of oracle driver into classpath environment variable just for testing purpose. or you can also load it at runtime by supplying the library into endorsed directory of your server (TOMCAT) otherwise you can copy your library file into common lib of your application server . It's just related to the oracle driver library which is not loading at startup of your application..
