mybatis cannot generator using oracle database - oracle11g

Question

I got a generatorConfig.xml like this:
<generatorConfiguration>
<classPathEntry location="D:\Workspace\springlt\src\main\resources\ojdbc6.jar" />
<context id="MyBatis3" targetRuntime="MyBatis3">
<commentGenerator>
<property name="suppressAllComments" value="true" />
</commentGenerator>
<jdbcConnection driverClass="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
connectionURL="myurl" userId="username"
password="password">
</jdbcConnection>
<javaModelGenerator targetPackage="vn.laptrinh.domain"
targetProject="../java" />
<sqlMapGenerator targetPackage="vn.laptrinh.dao.xml"
targetProject="../java" />
<javaClientGenerator type="XMLMAPPER"
targetPackage="vn.laptrinh.dao" targetProject="../java" />
<!-- <table tableName="users" domainObjectName="User"
enableSelectByExample="false" enableDeleteByExample="false"
enableCountByExample="false" enableUpdateByExample="false">
<columnOverride column="id" javaType="Long" />
</table> -->
<table tableName="CARDUSER_MASTER" domainObjectName="CardUserMaster"
schema="CACISISS" enableSelectByExample="false"
enableDeleteByExample="false" enableCountByExample="false"
enableUpdateByExample="false">
</table>
</context>
</generatorConfiguration>
Previously, I use mysql database and I put mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar and mybatis-generator-core-1.3.1.jar in ..\springlt\src\main\resources folder, then use command line to run java -jar mybatis-generator-core-1.3.1.jar -configfile generatorConfig.xml -overwrite -tables users, project will generate domain, xml, xmlmapper
However when I change mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar to ojdbc6.jar (I'm using oracle 11g), then I run and got bunches of errors:
D:\Workspace\springlt\src\main\resources>java -jar mybatis-generator-core-1.3.1.
jar -configfile generatorConfig.xml

I dont' know what is the problem is. I connect to database located on server.
Any solutions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Firstly, please change this:
<jdbcConnection driverClass="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
connectionURL="myurl" userId="username"
password="password">
</jdbcConnection>
to
<jdbcConnection driverClass="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
connectionURL="myurl" userId="username"
password="password">
</jdbcConnection>
and see if it is working for you

Answer 2

I had everything configured properly and realised the cause of this error can also be that the plugin is not able to find the ojdbc jar. What worked for me is to add classPathEntry in my generator file.
<generatorConfiguration>
<classPathEntry location="/Users/adaprognotebook/lib/ojdbc6.jar"/>
<context id="system" >
<plugin type="org.mybatis.generator.plugins.CaseInsensitiveLikePlugin" />
