What is the difference between ojdbc6.jar and ojdbc14.jar?

I am using jBoss 5.1.0 GA and Oracle database 11g R2 XE with jdk1.7.0_02.

Which jar file should I use?

Answer 1

Both jars will work, but ojdbc6.jar is better, it is for Java 6. Newer Java versions add features unavailable in older version, new things are marked with Since tag in javadoc, eg Java 7 Connection.abort is tagged with

Since: 1.7

if you call a method missing in the jar you will get java.lang.AbstractMethodError
