JDeveloper Connection to Weblogic Server

Problem

When Creating Application Sever Connection from JDeveloper to Weblogic you get an exception that "Cannot instantiate class: weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory" while testing connection.

Resolution

The problem is that JDeveloper is not able find the WLInitialContextFactory in the weblogic.jar you pointed at the time of setup.

Copy the weblogic.jar to \jdev\lib\ext and restart your JDeveloper and retest the connection
