I cannot create or connect to a jdbc datasource. I am getting a "Driver class not found" message.

This error message is normally shown when the application cannot locate your database's jdbc driver on the application CLASSPATH.

I am getting "Cannot connect to datasource" messages in either the Designer or the web application.

Check your log files. Depending on the log message, your connection could be timing out, your JDBC driver is throwing an error message, or perhaps the application cannot find the JDBC driver on your application's CLASSPATH. Please see the earlier instructions for configuring the CLASSPATH in Designer. In a web environment, JDBC driver JAR files should be placed in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web application.
