Problem with jdbc connector

Question

Hi everyone,
I am trying to access an Oracle database through the JCA framework in the portal.  however, I have not had too much success.
This is what I have done so far:
1. created a system in the portal called tempdb with a connection url of:
jdbc:sap:oracle://mtlclu01aw.cit.canadair.ca:1545;SID=TEMPDB
and a driver:
com.sap.portals.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
I have given this object usermapping of user/admin.
I have created a system alias for this object of tempdbalias
I have mapped the group of everyone to log in with one username/password, and I have given everyone permission to read write.
The sql statement of "select vendorname from vendor" should give me 2 results, it gives me no results.
The code is as follows:
IConnectorGatewayService cgService =(IConnectorGatewayService) PortalRuntime.getRuntimeResources().getService(IConnectorService.KEY);
if (cgService == null) {
throw new ConnectorException("Error in get Connector Gateway Service");
ConnectionProperties cp =new ConnectionProperties(request.getLocale(),request.getUser());
IConnection conn = cgService.getConnection("tempdbalias", cp);
conn = getJDBCConnection("testdbalias", request);
INativeQuery query = conn.newNativeQuery();
ResultSet result = (ResultSet)query.execute("select vendorname from vendor");
The result is always empty, meanwhile there are records in the db.
Please help!!!!

Are you getting any exception? Did you try to see if got any data by using standard Query iView delivered by SAP that connects to database defined via System defintion?
