Thanks Neal for quick and accurate reply.
Here I am going to give you more info on my current set up
1. I am using latest ESP 5.1 [SP08]
2. I want to connect database using ODBC. [JDBC as well]
=> I have followed your steps to for JDBC connection like I got the ojdbc6.jar from oracle site and kept it at the $ESP_HOME/libj directory.
Then I have navigated to ESP home/Bin folder and added one more service entry say MyDbService along with the existing ones.
Added Service in service.xml->
<Service Name="MyDbService" Type="DB">
<Parameter Name="User">testuser</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="Password">testpass</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="Database">testDatabase</Parameter>
<Parameter Name="ConnectString">jdbc:oracle:thin:@//testserver.abc.com:1521</Parameter>
</Service>
So before doing anything I thought like It would be better if I test this database connection from ESP IDE.
I have started one project -> navigated to Data Service View tab-> I can see all the service names here defined in service.xml ->
Selected MyDbService and right click to Descover.
But I could not reach to this service as it says not enough parameters. !!
