JNDI error - Running WSAD auction sample with oracle db.

[Ed Elud]

I was able to create the table for the sample in the Oracle db,
pointed all references (helper classes and db references) from DB2 to
Oracle and I'm now getting the following error. Since its using jdbc,
it should work transparently with Oracle. I shouldnt have to run DB2
to WSAD, right?

Under server settings, set up all attributes for data source, eg.
TNSEntryName, serverName, etc.

Ed,

Your error suggests that the Websphere Test Environment cannot see
your oracle driver class.
Have you tried adding the oracle driver zip/jar file to the server
classpath in the paths tab of the server configuration. This may not
be the best place for it but it might work.

Cheers
Chris
