JDBC Connection on OS X Lion

Hi Everyone,

I've just recently start using a mac for work and need to be able to establish JDBC connections to an oracle database through soapui.

I have all this working on a windows pc, but I remember having to put some additional jar files in \bin\ext in the soapui home folder.

I'm not certain if I need to do something similar on the mac. I have tried to see if there is somewhere I need to do this but haven't been able to find anything.

I tried looking on the forums and can't find anything there either.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

    Hi,

    yes - you need to put the required JDBC driver jars (probably the same ones you used on windows) in the soapui-pro\bin\ext folder allowing you to connect to your Oracle database.

    regards!

    The full path is /Applications/SmartBear/soapUI-Pro-4.0.2.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin/ext if your running the latest version.

    Hope this helps!

    yes it does.

    An additional note is that you have to right click on the .app file and select 'Show Package Contents' in order to view the sub-folders for the app. You may want to include this in your instructions somewhere for users who are not familiar on how to do this when they need to add in a JDBC driver.
