Issue JDBC connection pool with Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and Oracle XE 11gR2

Question

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with pinging a JDBC connection Pool.
I installed the following without any warnings or errors:
Operating System: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
Oracle XE 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) database
Glassfish 3.1.2.2
I will refer to the steps I did after the installations
1) In the .profile file of the OS I add the following:
JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31; export JRE_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_31; export JAVA_HOME
GLASSFISH_DIR=/u01/glassfish3
GLASSFISH_HOME=/u01/glassfish3/glassfish
DERBY_HOME=$GLASSFISH_DIR/javadb
OPEN_MQ_HOME=$GLASSFISH_DIR/mq
PATH=:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin:$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin:$DERBY_HOME/bin:$OPEN_MQ_HOME/bin
export GLASSFISH_HOME
export DERBY_HOME
export OPEN_MQ_HOME
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
2) I copied the ojdbc6.jar to the $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/lib
3) I login to the Glassfish admin console and created a new JDBC Connection Pool.
Pool Name: ds_orasys
Resource Type: javax.sql.DataSource
Datasource Classname: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
User: [myschema]
Password: [myschema password]
URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
When I ping the connection pool I get the following message in the server log:
[#|2012-10-23T12:14:37.069+0300|WARNING|glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.resource.resourceadapter.com.sun.enterprise.connectors.service|_ThreadID=22;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|RAR8054: Exception while creating an unpooled [test] connection for pool [ ds_orasys ], Connection could not be allocated because: Invalid Oracle URL specified|#]
[#|2012-10-23T12:14:37.071+0300|SEVERE|glassfish3.1.2|org.glassfish.admingui|_ThreadID=19;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|RestResponse.getResponse() gives FAILURE. endpoint = 'http://212.205.62.217:4848/management/domain/resources/ping-connection-pool.json'; attrs = '{id=ds_orasys}'|#]
I tried to use different jar files. I used ojdbc6dms.jar and ojdbc14.jar.
I also copied the jar files in the $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/lib/ext directory as some people suggested. Still no luck. I keep getting the same error messages in the server.log
Can anybody help me out or point me to the right direction.
Thank you in advance

The error is in the URL. It was in front of my eyes and I couldn't see the error. I skipped the ':' before the '@' when I created the pool. It is working fine now.
