WARNING:java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'

Question

I am getting the following error message when I start the tomcat. But the application works fine. ojdbc jar file is in the application war file.

22-Jun-2020 00:39:14.060 WARNING [main] org.apache.naming.NamingContext.lookup Unexpected exception resolving reference

Can anyone please advise?

I looks like we have to add to lib folder as well? If it is there in application war file is it still required? — TomJava, Jun 22 '20 at 08:16
The application is working. The warning is getting printed in catalina.out file. — TomJava, Jun 22 '20 at 08:19
