I’m OK with the filter idea you just explained, I still think it= 217;s more useful than the jar list itself, but at least you will have al= l you need.

About the class it’s more related to how the classloaders will inte= ract and how my application will be able to determine wich Driver version= should use as you have more than one available.

Imagine you create 2 datasources, one pointing to the classes12.jar for t= he oracle8i and other pointing to the ojdbc14.jar for oracle10g.
Then you deploy one application that uses both datasources.
Then you have some Driver extension code in your application that should = extend the oracle10g driver... How your application classloader will be a= ble to resolve wich driver it’s going to load?

Regards,
Daniel
