[Gvsig_english] 1.9 RC2 and Oracle 11g

[Piero Cavalieri]

Hi all,

I'm new to gvSIG (and Oracle too, having a MSSQL background ), and
wanted to try gvSIG with Oracle 11g Standard (with Spatial extension)
to make some (spatial) editing tests with this DB.

The Oracle extension is not loaded and in gvSIG logs:

...
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: IO

The jar file is in the right place

gvSIG_1.9_RC2\lib\ojdbc5.jar


But, as Oracle reported in the jdbc READEME:

...Desupport of oracle.jdbc.driver...In every release
    since 9.0.1 we have encouraged customers to switch to oracle.jdbc
    and stated that oracle.jdbc.driver would be desupported. The time
    has come. Customer code that references oracle.jdbc.driver will
    not compile and will not execute in this and future releases of
    the Oracle JDBC drivers. Please use oracle.jdbc instead.


If it's "only" a namespace problem,is there any plan to adjust to the
correct namespace (or there are customers around which use versions
prior 9.01. ?)

Thanks in advance
 Piero
