Accessing a DataSource with a userid, password.

Question

I am getting an SQL Exception with trying to create a database connection using a datasource with userid and password, I can log in to the database manually with the credentials but when I try to access via the datasource this is the error returned.
java.sql.SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: User: doug, failed to be authenticated.
<code>
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
// start getConnection
//-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
* Creates a new connection to the database
* @return the connection object
public Connection getConnection() throws Exception{
Context context = new InitialContext();
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) context.lookup("JDBC-GSFP_ResourceTracker");
return(dataSource.getConnection("doug","root"));
} // end getConnection
</code>
Any Ideas,

Hi
When you created DataSource in Weblogic Admin Console, at one point, you will give all the db details like DB Host, port, sid and username/password. You can TEST the connection also right there. If it says success, thats it.
Now, on the java side, you do Initial context and do JNDI Lookup for that DataSource and directly get the DataSource. There is no need to pass again username/password from Java Side. Just use dataSource.getConnection() without any arguments.
public Connection getConnection() throws Exception{
Context context = new InitialContext();
DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) context.lookup("JDBC-GSFP_ResourceTracker");
return(dataSource.getConnection());
} // end getConnection
Thanks
