Delete ojdbc6dms.jar from <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/lib and place ojdbc7.jar in that same folder.
...
Step 10. Linux only - set the shell scripts executable with this command: chmod +x <FlexDeploy Home>x <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/bin/*.sh
Step 11. Skip this step if you did not modify setenv.sh or setenv.bat to use non-default Server server side directories in Step 6.
If you are using non-default server side directories, then move all the jar files from <FlexDeploy Home>/application/plugins to FLEXDEPLOY_WORKING_DIR/plugins. At startup, FlexDeploy will load all the plugins.
