JDBC tries multiple times to connect on a bad login

Question

Hi, we got this problem when there's a bad login (ora-01017) from a user.
Note that everything works fine for a successful login.
So when a bad login occur it takes at least 2-3 minutes to catch the exception.
During that time we can see in the JDBC tracing that there's multiple tries to connect, about 200.
We use classes12 and Oracle 10g (RAC).
LOAD_BALANCE=ON
FAILOVER=ON
SERVER = DEDICATED
I did try with DriverManager and OracleDatasource with no difference.
        Connection con = null;         try{           compteur = compteur+1;           trace.ecrireLogEnv("compteur : "+compteur);           //DriverManager.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(chemin.substring(0,chemin.indexOf("classes"))+"log//test_connexion.txt")));           //con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,motPass);           OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();           ods.setURL(url);           ods.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(chemin.substring(0,chemin.indexOf("classes"))+"log//test_connexion_ds.txt")));           con = ods.getConnection(user,motPass);           etat = true;         } catch( SQLException e ){           msg = e.getMessage();           trace.ecrireLogEnv("mesg "+ msg);         }         finally {           if( con != null ) {             try { con.close(  ); }             catch( Exception e ) { }           }         }
Anyone can help?

Thanks for your reply.
We use classes12 because we had no needs to upgrade, like TIMESTAMP...
Maybe we could try change driver.
And nothing in the code loop to try that many times. Like written in the example code we made a little sample page just to test the connection. That's all.
I don't have any control of the pool connection. But the people that are doing it says to me that there is no settings configured to attempt connection 200 times.
