JBuilder not connecting to Oracle

[Chad]

Hi. I have developed a website using Borland JBuilder v6 but cannot connect to my database on Oracle v8.1 via code. If I use the Database pilot, I can connect successfully:

Database Pilot
URL jdbc.oracleci8:@GEM
Driver oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
UserName GEM
Database Product Oracle
Database Version Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production
Driver Version 8.1.7.0.0

However, I get the following messages when accessing from the program:
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
No suitable driver

Here is the code I am using:

static {
initializeConnections("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver",
// "jdbcracle:thin:@localhost:1521:ORCL",
"jdbcracleci8:@GEM",
"gem", "gm", 3);
}//initializeConnections Method

Please let me know if there anything I have left out or if there is more information that you require as I am new to Java?

Thanks,
Chad

the DriverManager has queried all of the available drivers and asked them if they can handle/create a connection to a database based on the URL given

all of them have said "no"

consult the documentation for advice on how to forge a conenction using this particular driver
