Error while using TXDataSource with Weblogic 6.1 & Oracle 8.1.6

Question

Hi,
I am using Weblogic 6.1 and Oracle 8.1.6.
I have configured JDBC XA Connection Pool with Oracle thin driver. These are my settings...
Connection Pool:
Name - myXAPool
URL - jdbc:oracle:thin:@myServer:1521:myDb
DriverClassname - oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource
TXDataSource:
Name - myXADS
JNDIName - myXADS
PoolName - myXAPool
I get the following error when I try to lookup the datasource. I am not sure where the problem is as I have configured Connection Pool and TXDataSource as mentioned in the documentation.
java.sql.SQLException: XA error: XAER_RMERR : A resource manager error has occured in the transaction branch start() failed on resource 'myXAPool' Unexpected error during start for XAResource 'myXAPool': null
It would be really great if you can help me out.
Thanks in Advance,
Sudhir.

Hi Sudhir,
If you do not know if upgrade or not, have a look here :

Note that at the end of June SP3 will be released...

Hi Sergi,
Thanks a lot for the class file, I figured out what the problem was. Actually
the
database version I was working with was 8.0.6.0. The Oracle driver doesn't
work with
this but the JDriver worked. This is the output of running CheckDriver..
DatabaseProductName : Oracle
DatabaseProductVersion : Oracle8 Enterprise Edition Release 8.0.6.0.0 -
Production
With the Partitioning and Objects options
PL/SQL Release 8.0.6.0.0 - Production
DriverName : Oracle JDBC driver
DriverVersion : 8.1.7.1.0
Then I tried on using the Oracle Driver on another instance which has the
version
8.1.7.1.0 and it worked. The JDriver and Oracle driver both work with this
database.
The output of CheckDriver for this Oracle instance is..
DatabaseProductName : Oracle
DatabaseProductVersion : Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.1.0 -
Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 8.1.7.1.0 - Production
DriverName : Oracle JDBC driver
DriverVersion : 8.1.7.0.0
By the way I am working on WLS 6.1 SP1. What is the advantage of SP2 ? Should
I upgrade
Thanks once again,
Sudhir.

Hi Sudhir ,
JDriver works well, you can work with it.
Just for curiosity, can you run the class I attached using the "exact"classpath
of your WL instance (with Oracle drivers in front of weblogic.jar) ? What
is the
output ?
On which platform are you running your WLSP2 ?
Thanks

Hi Sergi,
I just checked the things you mentioned. The connection pool starts correctly
without
any errors. I also made sure SELECT previlege was granted to DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS.
I do have the JAVA_XA package installed and it has EXECUTE permission
to
PUBLIC.
I actually tried using the Weblogic JDriver (weblogic.jdbc.oci.xa.XADataSource)
and
it works perfect without any issue. The only consideration is that itis
a Type 2
Driver and needs to have the Oracle Client installed. But right now Ido
have it
installed on the same machine.
Do you know any known issues with Weblogic JDriver. Do you think it'sa
good idea
to go with it ?
Thanks,
Sudhir.

Hi Sudhir,
does your connection pool start correctly ?
Check the setup of your Oracle server too:
1) grant select on DBA_PENDING_TRANSACTIONS table to PUBLIC
2) package JAVA_XA installed (with grant execute to PUBLIC)

Hi Sergi,
Thanks for the response. I downloaded the driver for 8.1.7 from Oraclesite
and put
it in classpath in front of weblogic.jar. I still get the same problem.
Is there
another location where we can download the Oracle driver with the bug
fixed

Hi Sudhir,
I think you are using Oracle JDBC drivers 8.1.6.
They have a bug, they do not accept a foreign XID.
Use 8.1.7 or higher to solve this problem.
