JIRA with Oracle 11g

Question

RE this thread, I am standing up a JIRA 3.13 in dev to prepare for upgrade, and using Oracle 11g on the backend. The thread just mentioned describes two files to edit: entityengine.xml and jira-ds.xml.

I do not have a jira-ds.xml; rather, I have a server.xml (in the conf dir) that also contains the JDBC and db login info. do I need a jira-ds.xml file? If yes, where do I put it?

Also, the db URL seems to be in two places: entityengine.xml and server.xml; is this ok, or should it be just in one?

Thanks.

It is that it cannor find the driver? It's in:

<jira_home>./common/lib/.

This is the correct location, right?

10g works, but there is another issue:

org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver'

.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver

Whoops - didn't look at your version properly -   try oracle10g, and if that's still not found plain oracle
