Oracle JDBC ojdbc6 Jar as a Maven Dependency

OracleMavenJdbcWar

Oracle Problem Overview

I cannot seem to get Maven to bundle the ojdbc6.jar file into my project's war file. I have it working within the POM file when specifying a dependency directly for Hibernate tools. But it won't get bundled with the project's war file, and therefore my project won't run on Tomcat.

I have tried every solution I can find out there on the net, including those specified for this question here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1074869/find-oracle-jdbc-driver-in-maven-repository

Most recently, I did the following:

  1. Download the jar file to my machine

  2. Run the following command to install the jar into my local repository:

    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=ojdbc6.jar -DgeneratePom=true

    (I've tried all kinds of variants of that command, too.)

  3. Finally, I put the dependency into my pom file:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
	<artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
	<version>11.2.0.3</version>
</dependency>

  4. I run a clean build, but it fails:

    mvn -U clean package

Why doesn't this work? I'm ready to throw expensive computer parts across the room. This has wasted so much time. (Thank you, Oracle. How much did we pay you again?)

Is it because I'm on a Mac, perhaps?

Solution 1 - Oracle

It is better to add new Maven repository (preferably using your own artifactory) to your project instead of installing it to your local repository.

Maven syntax:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
    <version>11.2.0.3</version>
</dependency>
... 
<repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>codelds</id>
      <url>https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

Grails example:

mavenRepo "https://code.lds.org/nexus/content/groups/main-repo"
build 'com.oracle:ojdbc6:11.2.0.3'

Solution 2 - Oracle

For anyone reading this post in the future, you don't need to cd to the directory where the jar is present. Here is what you need to do -

Go to your project folder from where you can run maven commands (When you do an ls -ltr in this folder, you should see pom.xml)

Do this -

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=<Path where the jar is, example downloads>/ojdbc6.jar -DgeneratePom=true

Once this is done, you can add the dependency in your pom.xml, something like this -

    <dependency>
		<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
		<artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
		<version>11.2.0.3</version>
	</dependency>

Solution 3 - Oracle

The correct answer was supplied by Raghuram in the comments section to my original question.

For whatever reason, pointing "mvn install" to a full path of the physical ojdbc6.jar file didn't work for me. (Or I consistently repeatedly flubbed it up when running the command, but no errors were issued.)

cd-ing into the directory where I keep ojdb6.jar and running the command from there worked the first time.

If Raghuram would like to answer this question, I'll accept his answer instead. Thanks everyone!

Solution 4 - Oracle

mvn install:install-file 
-Dfile=C:\Users\xxxx\Downloads\lib\ojdbc6.jar 
-DgroupId=com.oracle
-DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar

Oracle JDBC ojdbc6 Jar as a Maven Dependency

    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
        <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
        <version>11.2.0</version>
    </dependency>`

Solution 5 - Oracle

First you need to download the particular jar from Oracle site (ojdbc.jar version 11.2.0.3)

if you download it to C:\filefolder

go to that directory in cmd prompt and provide the below command.It will install the dependency.Then you can build your project.

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=11.2.0.4.0 -Dfile=ojdbc6.jar -DgeneratePom=true

Solution 6 - Oracle

After executing

mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0.3 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=ojdbc6.jar -DgeneratePom=true

check your .m2 repository folder (/com/oracle/ojdbc6/11.2.0.3) to see if ojdbc6.jar exists. If not check your maven repository settings under $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml

Solution 7 - Oracle

Below config worked for me. Refer this link for more details.

<dependency>
 <groupId>com.oracle.jdbc</groupId>
 <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
 <version>12.1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

Solution 8 - Oracle

Since Oracle is the licensed product, there are issue in adding maven dependency directly. To add any version of the ojdbc.jar, below 2 steps could do.

  1. Run the below command to install ojdbc.jar into local maven repository.
/opt/apache-maven/bin/mvn install:install-file
    -Dfile=<path-to-file>/ojdbc7.jar
    -DgroupId=com.oracle
    -DartifactId=ojdbc7
    -Dversion=12.1.0.1.0
    -Dpackaging=jar

This will add the dependency into local repository.

  1. Now, add the dependency in the pom file
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
    <version>12.1.0.1.0</version>
</dependency>

Solution 9 - Oracle

I have tried using the dependency without version tag and its worked fine for me.

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.oracle.ojdbc</groupId>
	<artifactId>ojdbc8</artifactId>
</dependency>

Solution 10 - Oracle

I followed below command it worked:

mvn install:install-file -Dfile=E:\JAVA\Spring\ojdbc14-10.2.0.4.0.jar\ojdbc14-10.2.0.4.0.jar -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc14 -Dversion=10.2.0.4.0 -Dpackaging=jar

After installation check that jar is installed correctly on your M2_repo.

Solution 11 - Oracle

Add Following dependency in pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
    <artifactId>oracle</artifactId>
    <version>10.2.0.2.0</version>
</dependency>

Solution 12 - Oracle

Go to the C drive->user->PcName->find .m2 and Paste the downloaded ojdbc jar file there, Server will automatically pick this.

Solution 13 - Oracle

Public: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.oracle.database.jdbc/ojdbc6/11.2.0.4

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.oracle.database.jdbc</groupId>
    <artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
    <version>11.2.0.4</version>
</dependency>

Solution 14 - Oracle

For Ubuntu Issue

In ubuntu .m2\ folder is difficult to find and difficult put jar into repository ,So when we put command of Step 1 in Command Prompt, then it create ojdbc7 jar into local repository.

Step 1: Go to any location like /home/user/Documents open terminal and put this command

Command

> mvn install:install-file -Dfile=path_of_downloaded_jar/ojdbc7.jar > -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc7 -Dversion=12.1.0.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar -X

Step 2: Put this dependency in pom.xml
Dependency

  <dependency> 
   <groupId>com.oracle.jdbc</groupId>
   <artifactId>ojdbc7</artifactId>
   <version>12.1.0.2.0</version>
  </dependency>

Step 3: Update maven.

Please note:

You can change versions of ojdbc like ojdbc6/7/8 according your requirement.

Solution 15 - Oracle

Oracle JDBC drivers and other companion Jars are available on Central Maven. We suggest to use the official supported Oracle JDBC versions from 11.2.0.4, 12.2.0.2, 18.3.0.0, 19.3.0.0, 19.6.0.0, and 19.7.0.0. These are available on Central Maven Repository. Refer to Maven Central Guide for more details.

It is recommended to use the latest version. Check out FAQ for JDK compatibility.
