Client side connection problems with Oracle

Question

Hello,
I'm using JUnit to test my code and am having client connection problems.
Weblogic server 6.1sp2, oracle 8.1.7, win 2000
I create an oracle user on the fly (with a dynamic name) and then need to connect
so I'm getting a direct connection, rather than using a connection pool.
it works fine when run through the container, but when run through JUnit I get the
following error:
java.sql.SQLException: The pool driver only works within the WebLogic server, it
cannot be called directly in a client. Use the t3 driver.
So i changed the code to:
driver = (Driver)Class.
     forName("weblogic.jdbc.t3.Driver").newInstance();
from:
driver = (Driver)Class.
     forName("weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver").newInstance();
and now i get this error:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
Any ideas??
Thanks!
Sara

Hi Sara,
You may want to look at Cactus framework. This is a JUnit extension
for serverside tests. You won't need to care about server/client
configuration:

Hi Sree,
Actually, I also have a connection pool, so I am getting connections tothe database
both using the pool (for the static user) and directly for the dynamicusers.

Here's the code in the config.xml:
<JDBCConnectionPool CapacityIncrement="2"
DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver" InitialCapacity="6"LoginDelaySeconds="1" MaxCapacity="60"
Name="pics"
Properties="weblogic.oci.cacheRows=500;user=**;password=**;defaultRowPrefetc
h=500;server=nmctest"
RefreshMinutes="10" ShrinkPeriodMinutes="15"
ShrinkingEnabled="true" Targets="nmc2Server"
TestTableName="dual" URL="jdbc:weblogic:oracle"/>
<JDBCTxDataSource EnableTwoPhaseCommit="false"
JNDIName="weblogic.jdbc.jts.pics" Name="pics" PoolName="pics"Targets="nmc2Server"/>
>
And if I change the above DriverName to weblogic.jdbc.pool.Driver the poolno longer
works, and the direct connection (attempted with weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver)does not
work either.
Thanks for your help!
