Yes, using that username and password works fine through SQL Plus, and I've connected to the database several times through SQL Plus using those credentials. In fact connecting to the database through my code works fine if I don't use connection pooling! In my test java class I've tried connecting to the DB using connection pooling, and not using connection pooling. This way works fine with no errors: Connection conn; Driver driver; String driverUsed = "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"; String serverAddress = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@devdb1.utrs.com:1521:flcdb"; try { driver = (Driver)Class.forName(driverUsed).newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(serverAddress, "myuser", "mypass"); } catch (Exception e) { log.debug("Connection to database failed!", e); } This way fails with "invalid username/password" error: DataSource ds = null; String dsName = "jdbc/flc"; try { Context initContext = new InitialContext(); Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env"); ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup(dsName); if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("(exeucte) Retrieving database connection from the DataSource."); } conn = ds.getConnection(); if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("(exeucte) Connected."); } } catch(javax.naming.NamingException nex) { log.error("Context lookup failed for DataSource '" + dsName + "'", nex); } --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
