Issue in setting up a connection pool in Glassfish

Hello,
I'm having an issue in setting up a connection pool in Glassfish. Previously I did it succesfully when I installed Glassfish in a Windows Server machine, but now I'm trying to do the same thing on a Linux machine and it's not working.
Glassfish version is: Glassfish server open source edition 3.1.1 (build 12)
The machine is a AWS machine running Amazon Linux AMI
Oracle Database is Oracle 11g Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production With the Real Application Clusters option
The Oracle client installed on the machine is Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production
Java version is: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_02-b13)
I've created the pool with the following options:
Resource Type: javax.sql.DataSource
Datasource classname: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
And as additional properties (apart from User and Password) I put as URL jdbc:oracle:oci8:@EVOREAD
The TNS file is correct and I can connect without any problem using sqlplus. I already copied the ojdbc6.jar in the /opt/Glassfish3/Glassfish/lib folder and I already restarted Glassfish server. Basically I did all the same steps that I did in the Windows machine, but in the Linux machine I always receive the following error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
I needed to create also a connection pool to a MySql Database and basically I did exactly the same steps (apart of course using all the parameters needed for MySql and the proper connector) and it worked immediately.
Anyone can help me?

You are using an OCI driver? You can either revert to using a thin client, or install the SQL client binaries and add its lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Issue JDBC connection pool with Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and Oracle XE 11gR2

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with pinging a JDBC connection Pool.
I installed the following without any warnings or errors:
Operating System: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
Oracle XE 11gR2 (11.2.0.2.0) database
Glassfish 3.1.2.2
I will refer to the steps I did after the installations
1) In the .profile file of the OS I add the following:
JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_31; export JRE_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_31; export JAVA_HOME
GLASSFISH_DIR=/u01/glassfish3
GLASSFISH_HOME=/u01/glassfish3/glassfish
DERBY_HOME=$GLASSFISH_DIR/javadb
OPEN_MQ_HOME=$GLASSFISH_DIR/mq
PATH=:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin:$GLASSFISH_HOME/bin:$DERBY_HOME/bin:$OPEN_MQ_HOME/bin
export GLASSFISH_HOME
export DERBY_HOME
export OPEN_MQ_HOME
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
2) I copied the ojdbc6.jar to the $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/lib
3) I login to the Glassfish admin console and created a new JDBC Connection Pool.
Pool Name: ds_orasys
Resource Type: javax.sql.DataSource
Datasource Classname: oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
User: [myschema]
Password: [myschema password]
URL: jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe
When I ping the connection pool I get the following message in the server log:
[#|2012-10-23T12:14:37.069+0300|WARNING|glassfish3.1.2|javax.enterprise.resource.resourceadapter.com.sun.enterprise.connectors.service|_ThreadID=22;_ThreadName=Thread-2;|RAR8054: Exception while creating an unpooled [test] connection for pool [ ds_orasys ], Connection could not be allocated because: Invalid Oracle URL specified|#]

I tried to use different jar files. I used ojdbc6dms.jar and ojdbc14.jar.
I also copied the jar files in the $GLASSFISH_HOME/domains/domain1/lib/ext directory as some people suggested. Still no luck. I keep getting the same error messages in the server.log
Can anybody help me out or point me to the right direction.
Thank you in advance

The error is in the URL. It was in front of my eyes and I couldn't see the error. I skipped the ':' before the '@' when I created the pool. It is working fine now.

Unable to set-up sybase connection pool for wls6.1

Hi All,
I am trying to set-up sybase connection pool in wls6.1 using the supplied jConnect driver (don't know the version of the driver). In diff places I am seeing diff opinions about the settings. It is really frustrating because BEA doc shies away from documenting just the sybase details although it provides details about Oracle, informix and SQL Server.
I just want to know these
1. the xml string for the connection pool
2. which config file should have it (web.xml or config.xml or something else?)
thanks a ton in advance
~rakesh

Hi,
I've already solve the problem. I did the following:
set the Url to be: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:SID
set username
set password
add oracle.jdbc.drivers.OracleDriver into the JVM options -Djdbc.drivers
restart the server
test the connection
it works :)

Set up DB Connection Pool for Oracle DataBase Using Java App Server8

Hi,
In the Admin Console of Java App Server 8, I tried to create a connection pool for the oracle database. I chose Resource Type to be "javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource" and the Vendor is Oracle. So the Data Source Class Name is filled by the system to be "oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource". Now, I set up the class path to point to the database driver class "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" and also the to the Data Source Class Name. Also I set up the JVM options in the console. Restart the server, and then try to ping to the database, but get the error:
Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Connection could not be allocated because: No suitable driver
I don't understand what else I should do and why this error is coming?
Please help me out.
Thank you
Regards,
Sarah

Hi,
I've already solve the problem. I did the following:
set the Url to be: jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:SID
set username
set password
add oracle.jdbc.drivers.OracleDriver into the JVM options -Djdbc.drivers
restart the server
test the connection
it works :)

Setting roles on connection pools

Hi,
using OracleConnectionCacheImpl and OracleConnectionPoolDataSource,
how can I set a role on the pooled connections since the creation of the physical
connection is out of my hands ? Ideally, I would like to set the role only once
so that when I call getConnection() to get the logical connection I do not have
to set it again and again ...
We are using exclusively stored procedures which one can execute according to its role.
Typically, my client has a role and uses a well known ConnectionCache which should
set the role accordingly.
Is the only solution to set the role on each request ?
I hope not.
Is anybody using roles in their applications ?
Cheers
Arnaud

Tomcat 5.5 + JDBC connection pooling -- help

I recently upgraded from java 1.4/tomcat 5.0 to java 1.5/tomcat 5.5. I am having difficulty getting connection pooling to work, however.
Here are the details:
1. Using mysql 4.1.3 beta -- it has been working fine for my purposes for a while
2. put mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar in tomcat/common/lib.
3. Here is server.xml:

e how to set up global connection pooling in tomcat.Hi,
Please bear with me for replying to a thread that's a week old.
I was trying to set up connection pooling in tomcat and this thread helped me clear up some issues for the same.
Incidentally google returns this thread among the top 10 when i search for tomcat 5.5 connection pooling.
There are some unexplained questions here (regarding global connection pooling) and since I was able to set that up too, this may, in the future, benefit anybody who faces similar issues.
Setting Up Global Connection Pooling
Add this piece of code to server.xml under the server element
<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

<GlobalNamingResources>
     
      <Resource name="jdbc/learning" auth="Container"                      type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
                   url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:learning"
                   username="Learning" password="Learning" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1"/>
</GlobalNamingResources>And then in your context file (which may be the <webapps>/<your appn>/META-INF/<your_web_app.xml> directory or conf/catalina/localhost/<your_web_app.xml>)
add this code
<Context docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/webtest"
         privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" antiJARLocking="false">


<ResourceLink
            name="jdbc/learning"
            global="jdbc/learning"
            type="javax.sql.DataSource"
          />
</Context>also tomcat recommends defining the docBase outside the webapps directory (ie any other location outside the tomcat installation dir) if you choose to define contexts in xml files.

Setting up Connection Pool in sun app server 8.1 with SQL server 2000

Hello,
I am trying to set up a connection pool & data source for SQL server 2000 (MSDE 2000).
Here is what I attempted to do:
I have a pool data source in a jar file called poll.jar and I copied it to C:\sun\Appserver\lib (Install dir\lib)
com.microsoft.mspool.PoolDataSource is the pool data source class.
In the Admin console, JDBC>Connection pools. Selected NEW and made the following entries.
GENERAL SETTINGS
Name: MsPool
Datasource class name : com.microsoft.mspool.PoolDataSource
Resource type: javax.sql.DataSource
POOL SETTINGS: default values
CONNECTION VALIDATION: default values
TRANSACTION ISOLATION: default values
PROPERTIES:
DataSourceName:PoolDataSource
NetworkProtocol:tcp
DatabaseName: myDB
Password:User specific
user:User specific
server: localhost
PortNumber:1433
I get the following error when I ping:
Operation 'pingConnectionPool' failed in 'resources' Config Mbean. Target exception message: Class name is wrong or classpath is not set for : com.microsoft.mspool.PoolDataSource.
Can any one help me if have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

You need to copy your jar to ${AS_INSTALL}/domains/domain1/lib/ext (replace domain1 by your
domain). Another option is to leave the jar in ${AS_INSTALL}/lib and add a entry in the classpath-suffix element of your domain.xml.

......so plz guide me how to do that...
TIA
bhups

i m having too much trouble in setting up connection
pool in TOMCAT 5.0.25 for MS SQL SERVER 2000...Never done it for SQL Server, but setting up a connection pool in tomcat is basically the same no matter what DB you're using:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
The two files you're interested in are server.xml and web.xml. You just need to look at the MYSQL and Oracle examples and "tweak" it ...

Can admin.jar create oc4j users and connection pools that use those users

Hi
I have an ADF BC application written in jdev 10.1.3.3 deployed to standalone oc4j 10.1.3
When I deploy the application I use the enterprise manager to create the users on the security provider/realms tab. I then set up the connection pools in jdbc resources to use those users via the username and indirect password fields. I also set the minimum number of connections on the attributes tab.
I have read the following document but I cannot find any reference to setting up users, connection pools with indirect passwords or minimum number of connections.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28950/adminclient.htm#BABHJAFE
Is it possible to do using admin.jar?
thanks
paul schweiger

I'm not sure about setting indirect passwords on the connection pool creation -- never tried it. It's probably treated purely as a lexical string, so may well be able to to issue the CP creation command with the "->USER" entry as the password.
To create realms, users, groups, etc. you need to use the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/jazn.jar utility: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25221_04/web.1013/b14429/admintool.htm#g1022417
The options for connection pool parameters such as min/max connections aren't directly expressable in the command. I'll need to look at the code and see if they can be passed in as non checked options via the factoryproperties. If not, then you can create a JMX client to use the MBeans that are created for the CP post deployment to change its behaviour.

Connection pool not re-establishing connections, throwing exception instead

Hello,
I've just set up a connection pool on the sun java system application server 8 for a MySQL database using the official mysql-connector/j 5.0. Everything is working great, except when the connections timeout (or i kill them all manually from the database server) and then request a page that needs to use the DataSource object, the following exception is thrown:
Exception thrown: com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException -- Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

Last packet sent to the server was 16 ms ago.What could be wrong?
Thank you.

The code is here:
    public String businessMethod() {
        //TODO implement businessMethod
        try
            InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
            Object obj = ic.lookup("jdbc/MyDS");
            System.out.println("Object is: " + obj + " | Class is: " + obj.getClass().getName());
            DataSource ds = (DataSource)obj;
            Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT a,b FROM test");
            String ret = "";
            while(rs.next())
                ret += rs.getString(1) + " - " + rs.getString(2) + "<br/>";
            conn.close();
            return ret;
        catch(Exception e)
            return "Exception thrown: " + e.getClass().getName() + " -- " + e.getMessage();
    }On the server, it is set up as XADataSource. I don't really have a big need for distributed transactions, but does it hurt badly to use it anyways? Could it be causing this problem?

How to catch exception when have max connection pool

hi,
i have define in oracle user that i could have max 10 sessions at the same time.
I have jdbc datasource & connection pool defined at glassfish server(JSF application).
now, if in application is too many queries to the database then i have error: nullpointer exception - becouse when i try to do:
con = Database.createConnection(); - it generates nullpointer exception becouse there isn't free connection pool
i try to catch exception like this:
public List getrep_dws_wnioski_wstrzymane_graph() {     int i = 0;     try {     con = Database.createConnection();     ps =    (Statement) con.createStatement();     rs = ps.executeQuery("select data, klasa, ile_dni_wstrzymana, ile_wnioskow from stg1230.dwsww_wstrzymane_dws8 order by data, klasa, ile_dni_wstrzymana, ile_wnioskow");     while(rs.next()){       rep_dws_wnioski_wstrzymane_graph.add(i,new get_rep_dws_wnioski_wstrzymane_graph(rs.getString(1),rs.getString(2),rs.getString(3),rs.getString(4)));       i++;     }     } catch (NamingException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } catch (SQLException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } catch (NullPointerException e) {         e.printStackTrace();         throw new NoConnectionException(); // catch null 1     } finally {     try {         con.close();     } catch (SQLException e) {         e.printStackTrace();     } catch (NullPointerException e) {         e.printStackTrace();         throw new NoConnectionException(); // catch null 2     }     } return rep_dws_wnioski_wstrzymane_graph; }
but at line:
con.close();
i have nullpointerexception
and
at line
throw new NoConnectionException(); // catch null 2
i have: caused by exception.NoConnectionException
what's wrong with my exception class? how to resolve it?
public class NoConnectionException extends RuntimeException{     public NoConnectionException(String msg, Throwable cause){       super(msg, cause);     }     public NoConnectionException(){       super();     } }
at web.xml i have defined:

}so what's wrong?
i have limit max sessions 10 at oracle so i set at my connection pool 5 connections as max. But when i get max 5 sesssins and try to execute next query then i can't catch exception..

Oc4j connection pool: too much INACTIVE connections

I am publishing an application - developed using Eclipse and previously published in Tomcat (where it works perfectly for a long time) - within corporate servers using Oc4j version 10.1.3. The database server is Oracle 9g.
After the deployment operation, the application seems to work, but that happens during the work by users, there are still many connections whith status "INACTIVE", until to complete all the available connections.
The datasource is set as follows:
<connection-pool name="ConnectionPoolRichiestaPubblicazione">
<connection-factory factory-class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
user="REDAZIONE"
password="password"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(FAILOVER=ON)
     (ADDRESS_LIST=(LOAD_BALANCE=ON)
     (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
     (HOST=10.146.2.86)(PORT=1521))
     (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.146.2.86)(PORT=1521)))
     (CONNECT_DATA=
(SERVER=DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME=XE)
(FAILOVER_MODE=(TYPE=SELECT)(METHOD=BASIC)(RETRIES=180)(DELAY=5))))">
</connection-factory>
</connection-pool>
<managed-data-source
jndi-name="jdbc/RichiestaPubblicazioneDS"
name="RichiestaPubblicazioneDS"
connection-pool-name="ConnectionPoolRichiestaPubblicazione" />
The java code to establish a connection is as follows:
private Connection creaConnessioneDataSource(String nomedatasource) throws ConnessioneException{
          LOGGER.debug("START");
          try {
               InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
               DataSource ds = (DataSource)context.lookup(nomedatasource);
               LOGGER.debug("URL DATASOURCE : " + ds.getConnection().getMetaData().getURL());
               LOGGER.debug("USERNAME : " + ds.getConnection().getMetaData().getUserName());
               this.conn = ds.getConnection();
          catch( Exception e ) {
               LOGGER.error("Errore nella connessione tramite datasource : " + StringUtils.getCustomStackTrace(e));
          LOGGER.debug("END");
          return this.conn;
Connections and statements are closed using the following methods:
     public boolean chiudi(Connection conn){
          LOGGER.debug("START");
          boolean esito = false;
          if (conn != null){
               try {
                    conn.close();
                    esito = true;
                    LOGGER.debug("Connessione chiusa");
               catch (SQLException e) {
                    LOGGER.error("Eccezione nella chiusura della connessione : " + e);
          LOGGER.debug("END");
          return esito;
     public boolean chiudi(Statement stmt){
          LOGGER.debug("START");
          boolean esito = false;
          if (stmt != null){
               try {
                    stmt.close();
                    esito = true;
                    LOGGER.debug("Statement chiuso");
               } catch (SQLException e) {
                    LOGGER.error("Eccezione nella chiusura dello statement : " + e);
                    e.printStackTrace();
          LOGGER.debug("END");
          return esito;
Here are a couple of examples of code that interact with the database:
     public List<StatoRichiestaSintesi> getElencoStatiRichieste() throws ConnessioneException{
          LOGGER.debug("START");
          List<StatoRichiestaSintesi> listaStati=new LinkedList<StatoRichiestaSintesi>();
          LOGGER.debug("Apriamo connessione e statement");
          Connection conn = databaseManager.creaConnessioneDataSource(datasource);
          Statement stmt = databaseManager.creaStatement(conn, false);
          String sql="SELECT * FROM STATORICHIESTA";
          try {
               ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
               while(rs.next()){
                    StatoRichiestaSintesi temp=new StatoRichiestaSintesi();
                    temp.setIdStato(rs.getString(1));
                    temp.setDescrizioneStato(rs.getString(2));
                    listaStati.add(temp);
               LOGGER.debug("Numero record trovati : " + listaStati.size());
          } catch (SQLException e) {
               LOGGER.error("Eccezione di tipo SQL : " + StringUtils.getCustomStackTrace(e));
          finally{
               LOGGER.debug("Chiusura di statement e connessione");
               databaseManager.chiudi(stmt);
               databaseManager.chiudi(conn);
          LOGGER.debug("END");
          return listaStati;
Below is another example using PreparedStatement:
     private synchronized void aggiungiIndicazioneProgetto(String idprogetto, String idrichiesta) {
          LOGGER.debug("START");
          LOGGER.debug("Creo un oggetto di tipo connessione");
          Connection conn = databaseManager.creaConnessioneDataSource(datasource);
          LOGGER.debug("Definisco una query sql");
          String sql = "INSERT INTO RICHIESTAPROGETTO (IDRICHIESTA,IDPROGETTO) VALUES (?,?)";
          LOGGER.debug("Dichiaro un oggetto di tipo preparedstatement");
          PreparedStatement stmt = null;
          try {
               LOGGER.debug("Istanzio l'oggetto statement");
               stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
               LOGGER.debug("Imposto i segnalibri della query");
               stmt.setString(1, idrichiesta);
               stmt.setString(2, idprogetto);
               LOGGER.debug("Eseguo la query di inserimento del progetto");
               stmt.executeUpdate();
          } catch (SQLException e) {
               LOGGER.error("Eccezione di tipo SQL : " + StringUtils.getCustomStackTrace(e));
          finally {
               LOGGER.debug("Chiusura di statement e connessione");
               databaseManager.chiudi(stmt);
               databaseManager.chiudi(conn);
          LOGGER.debug("END");
     Which may be the cause for the described behavior?
     I hope someone help me..

My problem is the following.
If I deploy my application with the illustred datasource in my local OC4J (10.1.3 in a Standalone Environment) all work fine.
The application creates a reasonable number of connections (in ORACLE - 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - db I run the query verification "select count(*) from v$session where username='MYAPPLICATION'"), and overall performance is very good.
If, however, to deploy on the production machine of corporate (always 10.1.3, but obviously in Oracle Application Server Environment) the
number of connections (status 'INACTIVE') grows massively, and this is saturated in a short time.
The exception that at the end from the application is that:
