SoapUI ext libs and its weirdness

Suppose you want to add some additional jars to your SoapUI installation. It all should work ok if you put them in

bin/ext directory. It is scanned at startup, and jars found there are automatically added to the classpath. However, if you want to add some JDBC drivers and happen to be using SoapUI version higher than 3.5.1 it is a bit more tricky. You may face this NoClassDefFoundError:

An error occured [oracle/jdbc/Driver], see error log for details
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/Driver

If so, try registering your drivers with

registerJdbcDriver function, like I did in this snippet of code:   What a crappy thing!

Devoxx 2012 review


I'm sitting in a train to Charleroi, looking through a window at the Denmark landscape, street lights flashing by, people comming home from work, getting out for a Friday night party, or having a family dinner. To my left, guys from SoftwareMill are playing cards.
I don't really see them. My mind is busy elsewhere, sorting out and processing last two days in Antwerp, where 3400 developers, from 41 different countries, listened to 200 different sessions at the Devoxx, AFAIK the biggest Java conference this year.
