Hello,

since I am trying to use logstash 5 my connection to Oracle stopped to work.  
On 2.1 it works perfectly with this configuration

```
input {
      jdbc { jdbc_driver_library => "/home/tva/prototype/logstash-5.0.2/lib/custom-jars/ojdbc6.jar"
                    jdbc_driver_class => "Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
                    jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:oracle:thin:@//oracle-test.something.com:1521/KUK"
                    jdbc_user => "user"
                    jdbc_password => "user"
                    parameters => { }
                    schedule => "* * * * *"
                    statement => "select sysdate from dual"
    }
}

```

In log I can see following error:

```
[2016-12-13T13:17:36,175][ERROR][logstash.agent] Pipeline aborted due to error {:exception=>#<LogStash::ConfigurationError: Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver not loaded.

[2016-12-13T13:17:36,203][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=>9601}

```

What have been changed there since 5.0?  
Based on Stackoverflow and other forums it seems that I am not alone with this problem.

Can you please advise?

Thank you  
Reddy

Problem solved by replacing ojdbc6.jar with ojdbc7.jar
