Additional Notes
Issues and Known Bugs
Some people have encountered problems with the Oracle JDBC driver with certain web application environments if the classes zip file is used as-is with the .zip file extension. Simply renaming the file to a .jar file seems to fix the problem. Alternatively, unzipping the classes file into a directory structure, then using the jar command to repackage the classes into a jar file works as well.
