Use the ojdbc6.jar JDBC JAR file to configure a JDBC connection and data source with Oracle data source. As JDBC 4.0 drivers required JDK 6.0, set the J2SE Version to JDK 6.0 by selecting Tools | Project Properties. In the Project Properties window, select the Libraries node and select a JDK 6.0 Java executable in the J2SE Version field.

We will add the following JDBC 4.0 features to the Apache POI application:

  • Connection state tracking

  • Connection client identification using client info properties

  • Statement pooling

  • Wrapper pattern

  • Java SE chained exception facility
