ArrayDescriptor.createDescritor() fails on OS X

Question

Hello,
I have the following code, which creates an oracle.sql.ARRAY in a Java Stored Procedure.
<code>
Connection con = (new OracleDriver()).defaultConnection();
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet results = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT ename FROM emp");
ArrayList nameList = new ArrayList();
while( results.next() )
nameList.add( results.getString(1) );
String[] names = (String[])nameList.toArray( new String[ nameList.size() ] );
ArrayDescriptor descriptor = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("EMPARRAY", con );
ARRAY array = new ARRAY( descriptor, con, names );
return array;
</code>
When I execute this code from my Java application I get a SQLException with the message "No more data to read from socket".
I'm running the server on my laptop (Powerbook G4 w/ OS X 10.4.1). Any insight that might help me track this down would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

Mike,
There are log files. From "SQL*Plus", try the following command:
show parametersAnd look for: "background_dump_dest" and "user_dump_dest"
The values of these parameters are directories where the log files are. Check the Oracle documentation for more details. The documentation is available from:

Good Luck,
Avi.
