1. Download Oracle JDBC driver for your Oracle version. The JDBC driver page is:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html

Make sure you download version 10.1.0.5 driver. Other versions of driver all have some known problems. The name of the JDBC driver file is usually ojdbc14.jar

2. Copy the JDBC driver file into common library folder in your  tomcat: {tomcat}/common/lib for Tomcat 5.x or {tomecat}/lib for Tomcat 6.x

3. Create a database for Contour, e.g, contourDb.

4. Create a user/schema for contour, e.g. contour.

5. Grant the following roles to the the newly created user "contour"

• CONNECT
• RESOURCE

6. Configure Oracle database during setup:

Connection String: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:contourDb

User: contour

Passowrd: password

We have tested the above steps for Oracle 10g Express.
