Install library jar files to Tomcat lib

...

• • Extract zip files in flat structure using unzip -j (works on Windows and UNIX)
    • cd <TOMCAT_HOME>/lib
    • unzip -j <path to temp folder>/adf-essentials.zip
    • unzip -j <path to temp folder>/adf-essentials-client-ear.zip
  • You should see a large number of jars now in the <TOMCAT_HOME>/lib folder.
  • ADF Essentials comes with the JDBC driver for Oracle 11g database (ojdbc6dms.jar).  If you are using Oracle 12c database, you can download the driver from the Oracle Technology Network site.

    • Oracle 12c drivers

      Note

      If adding another JDBC driver, be sure to remove the default one which comes with the ADF Essentials libraries (ojdbc6dms.jar).  If you leave multiple JDBC drivers in the lib folder, you could encounter the following exception on startup: java.lang.SecurityException: sealing violation: package oracle.jdbc is sealed                 at java.net.URLClassLoader.getAndVerifyPackage(Unknown Source)                 at java.net.URLClassLoader.definePackageInternal(Unknown Source)                 at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source)                 at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source)                 at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
