Actually, I am talking about my experince with Forte for Java. When establishing a connection to a database using a GUI. It will ask you for the username, password and SID as well as server name or IP address, and then it connects. I am completely oblivious as to where it keeps the parameters I have given it to I'm assuming it stores it somewhere. Not strictly a tnsnames.ora file but a config file somewhere that's specific to Forte. I also have the same experience with JDeveloper.
What I meant is that JDBC itself does not use tnsnames.ora but something like it.
