Install Oracle Database client files for Apache Tomcat

If you want your Java application to be able to connect to a full featured and functional Oracle Database, please follow the steps below.

• Stop the Tomcat server:

  $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop tomcat
  

• Download the corresponding JDBC drivers for Oracle Database from the Oracle official website. Pay attention to the server version. For example, for a 11g Release 2 server, you will need OJDBC6.jar.

• Unzip it and place it under the folder /opt/bitnami/apache-tomcat/lib/ext

• Start the Tomcat server again:

  $ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start tomcat
