BTW, Chris, I did happen to be calling DriverManager.getConnection() passing the user/pwd params -- in this instance.
And 12505, according to the Oracle forums, seems to be some kind of listener problem. I had reckoned that the problem might be with their (the midwest center's) Oracle server's ports, and what its server would allow, or be listening to. Seemed to make sense to me since I could get an ODBC conn via MS Acces and that Ora driver, as well as TNSPING it from the machine in question making the call. I'm likely going off topic greatly with this, so forgive me if that's the case, but if anyone can affirm this, that's also very helpful. Thanks, folks!

If you're calling DriverManager.getConnection() and passing a URL plus username and password, then Tomcat has nothing at all to do with this, unless you're running under a SecurityManager, in which case you'd be getting SecurityExceptions also. That doesn't necessarily mean we can't help. It just makes it off-topic ;) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxluPkACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PApbQCfUoCMQXlVedNxRBPPGA8pbADO jgIAoJu3c/4nMjWFCgO8/rIXRaXQvZwt =efLQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
