Hibernate 3 + Oracle Driver 10g = problem

Good Day.
I'm trying to use Oracle 10g driver to work with Oracle 9i Database through Hibernate 3.0.5. And I'm getting the following exception when Hibernate tries to build its SessionFactory:
11:09:51,831 WARN SettingsFactory:103 - Could not obtain connection metadata
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1

1. Hibernate 3.0.5 + Oracle Driver 9i works perfectly.
2. In Windows (XP) Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced -> Language for non-Unicode programs
the settings is "Russian". If switch to "English (Unated States)" - the problem dissapears.
3. Two jars for oracle are included into the project:
ojdbc14.jar - jar, containing OracleDriver 10g
orai18n.jar - jar for internationalization
Could you help me with this Exception, please.
Best regards,
Roman

  • Oracle Driver / JAR problem

    Hi,
    Here is the troublesome code.....

         }This code works fine when running via Eclipse, but, when I put it into an executatble JAR, it fails. I know it fails at the line DriverManager.registerDriver (new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver()); (as you can see in the code above)
    Any ideas?
    liktid

    I replaced
    DriverManager.registerDriver (new
    oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());with
    Driver driver =
    (Driver)Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    ").newInstance();
    DriverManager.registerDriver( (java.sql.Driver)
    er) driver);now an error gets caught on EVERY occasion (as seen
    in the code in the first post), even in eclipse. The
    previous version was ok. any further suggestions?
    litkidNone of that stuff is necessary. This is sufficient:
    Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");This works in production for me.
    Your problem is that your executable JAR manifest Class-Path doesn't include the ojdbc14.jar OR that JAR isn't where your Class-Path says it should be relative to your executable JAR.

  • Is Oracle Drive 10.2.0.0.5 is certified with MS Office 2007?

    Hi,
    I would like to know whether Oracle Drive 10.2.0.0.5 is certified with MS Office 2007. Also, please do provide reference to documentation available on
    Oracle Drive.
    Using Office 2007 with Oracle Drive causes problems saving files. Saving a new file to ODrive using any Office 2007 application (i.e. Excel) returns error "There was a problem renaming Book1.xlsx. Error 2. The system cannot find the file specified". However, the file is saved correctly anyhow. The second thing we realized is, that, when working with Office 2007 on files several .tmp file are created. These files are sometimes not deleted after the application is closed leaving many such tmp files on ODrive. Furthermore it seems that often the file lock is not removed in Oracle.
    Please provide your valuable suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    It looks like it's still not certified. I was just on Metalink yesterday, and it still lists Office 2003 as the latest version that's certified with ODrive.

  • Oracle Express 10g with driver 10.2.0.1 - need to update to 10.2.0.5

    Hi,
    I am not sure if this is the correct place for this question but its where I have seen some other discussions on drivers.
    I have Oracle Express 10g installed on my pc, and some work servers and am getting some errors about memory issues and came across this message and decided to try the solution here too - Re: Attempted to read or write protected memory
    I have the 10.2.0.1 driver on the clients I am running and the app has 10.2.0.4 (I think) and so decided that updating the clients drivers might solve the problems as described in that thread.
    I have downloaded the instant client basic and odbc for windows x32 but am unsure what I need to do next as I have Oracle Express installed. I couldnt find one specifically for Express 10g.
    Do I have the correct drivers downloaded and how do I install them into odbc ?
    Many thanks, George.

    My understanding is that to be a MetaLink subscriber you have to be an Oracle customer or subscribe for Oracle support services. Since Oracle is only one of the many databases we support, and because our sole objective with Oracle is compatibility testing, it's unlikely that we will become subscribers unless it's essentially free.
    Oracle is tangential (not core) to our own offerings, so we don't have a pressing need for support. Is there some avenue for people in our shoes?

  • Problems with deploy in Oracle AS 10g

    Hi people,
    We developed a system that we need to install on my client’s Oracle Application Server 10g, but I haven't the OAS here in my company and I can't test it on my client. In my application, I access the data source by two ways: one way by the Hibernate, editing the application’s "hibernate.cfg.xml" file and the other way access by JDBC directly.
    In hibernate.cfg.xml, I edit the property of "hibernate.connection.datasource" by this way (my application name's is "GCS"):
    <property name="hibernate.connection.datasource">java/gcs</property>
    By JDBC, I get the connection by this way:
    protected Connection getConnection() throws DAOException {
    Context initContext;
    try {
    initContext = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource)initContext.lookup
    ("java/gcs");
    return ds.getConnection();
    } catch (Throwable e) {
    throw new DAOException(e);
    In Oracle AS, I created a data source with the name and the JNDI location "java/gcs" and in the "Data Source Class" field I wrote "com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource".
    With this configuration the OAS did the deploy successfully. So I started the application and the system started to process the mapping of the Hibernate classes' (I could see this by the log).
    The problem is when I access the system deployed, appeared a window in my browser like those directory permission window that ask by username and password. This is very strange. Apparently, I have no access to the directory of my application... I try to put the username and password of the Windows, of the database user, of the OAS administrator... but nothing happens.
    Somebody knows what is this window? Why it appears? Where I configure this in the OAS?
    Thank's

  • Hibernate and Oracle Lite 10g

    Has anyone been able to get Oracle Lite 10g working with Hibernate?

    What problems are you having? You are using Webtogo OC4J right?
    It has been a while since I worked with Hibernate and in theory, it should work with any relational database. Since Oracle Lite closely resembles Oracle, I can't see an issue with the database, just the container that it is running in.
    <property name="connection.driver_class">oracle.lite.web.WTGJdbcDriver</property>
    <property name="connection.url">jdbc:oracle:webtogo</property>

    The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.

    My database version is 10.2.0.1.0 Oracle express.

    I started installing using the following commands.
    @ C:\temp\apex\apexins.sql
    it prompts me for the values of sysaux sysaux temp and c:\temp\apex\images\
    If I supply the value for images the sqlplus window closes after scrolling a lot of info.
    Enroute it also prompts me for a value for 9:
    I don't know what the input shall be.
    Then it again stops at enter value for version:
    I used 3.2.1.0
    The window scrols a while and closes.
    later I changed the password and ran the command.

  • Problem migrating ear from Oracle AS 10g to 11g.

    Hi
    I need to deploy an ear file in Oracle AS 11g. The ear has war in it.
    The ear file has uix pages and the supporting files (EOs and VOs).
    Using Oracle AS 10g:
    Here, i used to create a OC4J container and deploy the ear in this container.
    Using Oracle AS 11g:
    As there is no OC4J container support here, I have to deploy the ear in the
    weblogic server. I am facing problems doing so.
    In weblogic console,
    1) I have created a server and got it running.
    2) Went to 'Deployments' page and clicked on 'Install'.
    3) Entered the path for the ear file and pressed 'Next'
    I am getting the following error:
    X - Error Unable to access the selected application.
    X - Message icon - Error Exception in AppMerge flows' progression
    X - Message icon - Error Exception in AppMerge flows' progression

    X - Message icon - Error Bean already exists: "weblogic.j2ee.descriptor.ParamValueBeanImpl@bdc14d68(/[uix]/InitParams[oracle.cabo.ui.UIExtensions])"
    Can someone tell me if how this can be done or point me to an appropriate tutorial.
    It will be of great help.
    Thanks

    I figure out you are trying to install 10gR2 on top of an existing 9iR2 Oracle Home. This is corrected at the Path definition window. Most probably you just click on the <Next> and by default the 9iR2 Oracle Home was selected. You must define a new oracle home for the 10gR2 install.

  • Local Install of Oracle DB 10g Release 2 (10.2) problem

    Good day,
    I have a small problem. I am attempting to install a local instance of the Oracle database 10g r2 (10.2.0.1.0) on a laptop running Windows XP Pro /sp3. When I installed the database I was not connected to my company network. The installation was successful and I was able to connect to the local DB just fine. Now I am connected to the company network and am getting the error: '*ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor*'. I am able to connect to the databases on the network, but not to my local install. If I disconnect from the network, I can connect to my local install just fine. I realize it is most likely a configuration issue but I am at a loss as to how to fix this. I would very much like to connect to my local install while logged into the network. I have searched the forums and Google for a solution but have not found a situation that closely matched mine and the suggested solutions did not help. Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is the pertinent information about my laptop.

    If your database is using the AL32UTF8 character set, Forms 6i cannot connect.
