Question

My problem is in Exception Block I have shown,I can connect using GUI(PL/SQL developer) but my Eclipsedlink is getting exception while getting connection using Web Application. Please help me. Thanks in Advance.

I am using ojdbc14.jar, I am getting connection using Normal java(core), but with Eclipse link alone this problem exists.

Tesing.java :

        String URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP:1521:devt2x";
        String USER = "username";
        String PASS = "password";
        Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
        conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, USER, PASS);
        if(conn != null)
            System.out.println("connects");
        else
            System.out.println("not connects");

ouput :

Solution

Most likely this is a permission issue which needs to be resolved by providing permission to ORACLE_HOME to user say oracle (or whatever os user created for installation of Oracle database).
