Environment:
==========
This Solution is specific to BE 5.0.0 on any platform.

Symptoms:
=========
JDBC test connection fails with the following stack:

JDBC connection test failed.

Class not found: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

Cause:
=====
The ojdbc*.jar file is in the wrong location.  Copy the appropriate JDBC drivers file (for example, ojdbc6.jar) to BE_HOME/lib/ext/tpcl.

Note, with BE 5.0.0 you should not use either classes12.jar file or ojdbc14.jar because those jar files are meant for earlier versions of Java.  The ojdbc6.jar file from Oracle 11.x should be used.

Resolution:
=========
See explanation under Cause.

Note that the documentation for TickerTracker demo under Views has incorrectly documented this on page 44 of TickerTrackerStepByStep.pdf :

1). Copy the Oracle JDBC Thin driver libraries (classes12.zip) to BE_HOME/lib/ext.
