URGENT : ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Question

Hi,
I have a very annoying problem when trying to connect to a database :
- I can connect to this database with SQL*Plus without any problem.
- I wrote a simple Java program to connect to a database and perform a SELECT which works on a local database.
- When I apply this program to the remote database, DriverManager.getConnection() fails with the following error :
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
Here is some information about the context :
- The remote database is Oracle 8.1.5 under Solaris 2.6
- I use Oracle's "thin" JDBC driver (included in Oracle 8.1.5 distribution)
- My Java program fails after 2 lines :
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
cnx = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@my.server.com:1521:INST", "mylogin", "mypwd");
- I've ran my test program with JDK 1.1.3 and JDK 1.2.2 with the same deception...
Well, at this point, the smallest hint would be a great help... ;-)
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Your code looks fine. Are you sure that u are getting ArrayIndexOutofBound Exception at this place?
Use this code and try to catch the exception there it self
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:oracle:thin:@myserver.com:1521:SID, userName,password);
} catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
