Issue
I went through a Pluralsight video Spring with JPA and Hibernate video and got a HelloWorld "FitnessTracker" app to work against a local MySQL instance and now I am trying to convert it over to use an Oracle database.
I am getting the error show below. I copied the connection-specific information from a working program that used the SimpleJdbcInsert class (not Hibernate), in the event that this is helpful. That program was able to successfully connect to the database.
Here's the error I am getting using Hibernate and Oracle:
Could not load JDBC driver class [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver]
Here's my jpaContext.xml file:

Solution
You should add oracle jdbc driver in your pom.xml. I could not find it at maven central repository.
Maybe you need add it manually like described here: http://www.mkyong.com/maven/how-to-add-oracle-jdbc-driver-in-your-maven-local-repository/
To install your Oracle jdbc driver, issue following command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile={Path/to/your/ojdbc.jar} -DgroupId=com.oracle -DartifactId=ojdbc6 -Dversion=11.2.0 -Dpackaging=jar
pom.xml
<!-- ORACLE database driver -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.oracle</groupId>
<artifactId>ojdbc6</artifactId>
<version>11.2.0</version>
</dependency>
EDIT: or just add oracle jdbc lib in your project and references it.
<dependency>
<groupId>sample</groupId>
<artifactId>com.sample</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/custom_libs/yourJar.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
