exception creating a JDBC Connection Pool Glassfish v3 - oracle

Question

I am experiencing problems creating a connection pool in glassfish v3,
just for reference i am using the Java EE glassfish bundle.
my enviroment vars are as follows
Url: jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:xe
User: sys
Password : xxxxxxxx
which i think is all i need to make a connection. but i get the following exception
WARNING: Can not find resource bundle for this logger. class name that failed: com.sun.gjc.common.DataSourceObjectBuilder

does anyone have any ideas what i am doing wrong/ what i will have to do to
correct this issue,
Thanks for your time

Answer 1

Copy the jdbc jar to $glassfish-v3/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib/ext/ and restart glassfish.
this should fix the problem.

Answer 2

it looks like the server doesn't have the jar that contains the class oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource on the classpath.
there are a couple methods to do this.
The easiest way to get the class onto the classpath is to copy the jar that hold the class into your domain's lib directory.
That is usually $glassfish-v3-install-root/glassfish/domains/domain1/lib.
