I originally thought that was the exact issue. If you look at the listener.log, the "new" port# is random. In fact even the rang of numbers appears to be different on our different servers.
In spite of this, we're getting ports 33047 & 40147 consistantly; it appears to be somehow be a function of the sid. We have restarted Tomcat many times now and everything is working OK. I guess we should restart the box and see if it still works. Any other ideas or explanations? -----Original Message----- From: Tim Funk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 10:01 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Why does Oracle in JSP uses multiple ports. I have just learned that the thin driver uses 1521 to begin the conversation. But that is just a handshake. The handshake then says - "Let's finish the rest of our work on another higher port" where the higher port is a range of ports. So you need a whole range of ports open. :( -Tim Brad Rhoads wrote: > My client had to open port 1521 between the webserver and Oracle DB server. > This makes sense.
