Thin driver connection in oracle8i(8.1.5) on Linux with JDK1.2.2

Question

JDBC Development team quote:
You can download the JDK 1.2 version of the 8.1.6 Thin driver from this site. It is 100% Pure Java and will run on Linux.
As you replied, I downloaded 8.1.6 Thin driver(classes12.zip) and nls_charset12.zip. Then, as instructed in readme file of 8.1.6, I modified CLASSPATH and add LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
I wrote a test program, and it compiled without errors. But when I excuted it, I got the error message below:
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNU
M=135286784)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))
Is there any other installation procedures I missed?
Below is the test program I used:
import java.sql.*;
import oracle.jdbc.driver.*;
public class Test
public static void main (String args [])throws SQLException
//DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
try{
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Cannot load the Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid","id", "password");
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement ();
ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery ("select sysdate from dual");
while (rset.next ())
System.out.println (rset.getString (1));
I'd appreciate if you give me some insight.

Answer 1

It seems like the database listener is not setup properly. Please double check the listener is up and it's listening to the port you specified.
Thanks.
