Sqldeveloper and jdeveloper cannot connect to xe service

Question

I just installed xe on my pc.  I can get into sqlplus create users, tables data etc.  Everything seems to work.  I can also run lsnrctl and everything seems to be ok.  I can also do a tnsping and get a positive response.  sqldeveloper and jdeveloper both get errors when I try and connect.
I used to get an error indicating that the listener did not know about the XE service or sid (tried it both ways).  I changed the node names that were in the listener.ora file to localhost and the error changed to a 17002.  I am now getting the original 12514.  listener does not know the service in the connect descriptor.  How do I fix this?  It has not worked since I installed it.
Thanks,
Russell

Answer 1

I have tried using sqldeveloper and defining a connection.  I have also tried defining a connection in jdeveloper and that fails in the same way.  I have also tried using sqlplus user/pass@XE and that fails the same way.  The tnsnames.ora, listener.ora are all in the default location.  ...server\network\ADMIN.
lsnrctl returns the following:
