There is nothing to do with Oracle client. All you need is the jdbc driver.
-----Original Message----- From: Brad Rhoads [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: December 27, 2004 5:11 PM To: 'Tomcat Users List' Subject: RE: Oracle 9i client connection to 8i database I always assumed the Oracle client was required. . . I uninstalled the client and get the same results. With the sid syntax I at least get an entry in the listener.log: 27-DEC-2004 16:58:11 * (CONNECT_DATA=(SID=test)(CID=(PROGRAM=)(HOST=__jdbc__)(USER=oracle))) * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=10.0.0.4)(PORT=33244)) * establish * But the app doesn't get a connection. And with the service_name syntax I only get a connection error: DatabaseMessageresources: Loading all the messages for the messageMap NVFactory: _readNVPair expected ) DatabaseMessageresources: SQL EXCEPTION FETCHING MESSAGE java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: NL Exception was generated at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:187) I've run into a similar problem where the db server was behind the firewall and the firewall didn't allow high-ports, but in this case both machines are behind the firewall. Any other ideas why I might not be able to get a connection? > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Echerer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, December 25, 2004 4:08 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Oracle 9i client connection to 8i database > > How come that you need an Oracle client installation at all > when you just want to use the Oracle thin JDBC driver?
