Connecting Java program to Oracle10g XE

[adikimicky]

hello everyone..
I am trying to connect a simple application to Oracle XE database. But when I run this program , the else part of program is running. Can Anyone tell whether I hav ewritten the code correct or not.

import java.sql.*;
public class jbc
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int i=0;
        try
        {
            String str="SELECT * FROM adi";
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcdriver");
            Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bm","SYSTEM","monika");
            System.out.println("Connection open");
            Statement stmt=con.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs= stmt.executeQuery(str);
            System.out.println("first Name");
            while(i<3)
            {
                rs.next();
                String lname=rs.getString("name");
                System.out.println(lname);
                i++;
            }
            con.close();
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            System.out.println("error occurred");
            System.out.println("Error:" +ex);
        }
    }
}

Please solve my problem.

[radhakrishna.p]

this problem comes mainly with if the rt.jar file could not be found by the application

please let me know how r u running this application?

(at command prompt or using any IDE like netbeans ,eclipse)

r u running your application windows or in unix or linux? (pls specify this also )

if you are running at Command Prompt (in windows):

please check whether the java sdk instalation path (JAVA_HOME) path has been set properly or not

guidelines :

go to mycomputer (right click on it )
-> then go to properties
-> then select 'Advanced System Settings'
-> select "Advanced" tab
-> then select "environment Variables" button
then check
under system variables go for path variable then check whether there is an entry for **(java_Instalation_path) ** or not

let me know all the above things
