Problems connecting weblogic 10.3 to mssql2005

Question

Hello,
my job is to migrate an existing application from weblogic 6.5 to weblogic 10.3.
My Problem is the connection to MS SQL-Server 2005.
(My other problem is to be unexperienced in java and weblogic ;-) )
public void connect(String user, String passwd, String server, String database)
throws LetServerException {
log.getLog().debug("DBManager try to connect user:" + user + " server:" + server + " db:" + database);
if(dbConnection != null)
disconnect();
dbUser = user;
try {
java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.put("user", user);
props.put("password", passwd);
props.put("server", server);
//props.put("db", database); //weblogic 6.5
props.put("DatabaseName", database);          //weblogic 10.3
props.put("appname", "myapp");
try {
props.put("hostname", InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()).getHostName());
} catch (Exception ex) {
// nothing
     //cc Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver"); // weblogic 6.5
//cc dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:weblogic:mssqlserver4", props); // weblogic 6.5
     Class.forName("weblogic.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"); //weblogic 10.3
dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:bea:sqlserver", props); //weblogic 10.3
pStatements = new StatementCache (dbConnection);
catch(Exception dbe) {
handleDBException(dbe);
After replacing the weblogic-jdbc-driver i get the runtime-exception:
"java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0"
I think, that there is something wrong or missing with the parameters, but i can not find.
I hope, that there is anyone who can help me.
Thanks in advance
Christian

No.
I tried it to make some tests with the driver, but then i get:
"java.sql.SQLException: [BEA][SQLServer JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded applications."
