Programmatically connecting to BI server

Question

Hi,
I have to connect to the BI server using JDBC to run BI query.
Connection details (BIAnalytics)
ConnectionType: BI (JDBC)
Username: <private>
Password: <private>
BI Host: <private>
BI port: 9703
I am using the following code to get this connection from data source
Object obj = ADFContext.getCurrent().getConnectionsContext().lookup("TMBISrvConn");
if (obj instanceof DatabaseProvider) {
DatabaseProvider BIDB = (DatabaseProvider)obj;
String userName = BIDB.getProperty(DatabaseProvider.USERNAME_CLASS_REFTYPE);
String password = BIDB.getProperty(DatabaseProvider.PASSWORD_CLASS_REFTYPE);
String hostName = BIDB.getProperty(DatabaseProvider.HOSTNAME_CLASS_REFTYPE);
String port = BIDB.getProperty(DatabaseProvider.PORT_CLASS_REFTYPE);
String connString = "jdbc:oraclebi://"+ hostName + ":" + port + "/user=" + userName + ";password=" + password + ";Catalog=";
Connection con = BIDB.getConnection();
Error: "Unrecognized JDBC URL subtype: BI_JDBC"
I tried using Driver manager
String connString = "jdbc:oraclebi://"+ hostName + ":" + port + "/user=" + userName + ";password=" + password + ";Catalog="; Class bclass = Class.forName("oracle.bi.jdbc.AnaJdbcDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connString);
Error: "cannot find suitable driver"
Thanks

I am able to get this working by installing MS sqljdbc4 on weblogic and specifying the readonly parameter.
