Using OS_ROLES with JDBC Driver

I can't get my JDBC connections to pick-up the OS ROLES I have configured. Does the OCI driver support OS Roles?
I'm using 10gR2 with latest JDBC drivers, running on Windows XP.
If I connect locally with sqlplus then the roles are established correctly. However, establishing the 'equivalent' connection from Java yields a user with no ROLEs defined, i.e. they are not being picked-up from the OS.
Is there a trick or is it not supported?
I believe I have the database and the OS groups setup correctly and, as I say, it works fine with a sqlplus connection.
If anyone either knows how to do, or knows that its not supported then please let me know.
Thanks,
Richard.

to my knowledge this is not supported in jdbc specification2.0 and 3.0 and jdbc drivers are complied to this standards.
connecting with sql client is entirely different with the connection using java thin drivers.
thanks,
Ruchir

Problem with JDBC driver for Oracle 10g

Hi.
I've successfully accessed a MySQL database via a DataSource from a servlet (that uses a DAO). However, when I try to do the same with an Oracle 10g Database, I get the error message:
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'
I'm using J2SE1.5.0/5.0 and ojdbc14.jar, the latter of which I downloaded this afternoon as the latest driver JAR available on the Oracle site. As with the MySQL driver, I've placed it in the commons\lib folder within Tomcat. (I've also, of course, made the necessary modifications to server.xml and web.xml.)
Upon examining the ReadMe file at the top of the Oracle download page, I found that the oracle.jdbc.driver package is now deprecated and all references to oracle.jdbc.driver should be replaced with oracle.jdbc. However, I got a similar error message when I tried this modification. Upon examining the contents of ojdbc.jar, I found that the driver was there and that it was, in fact, still oracle\jdbc\driver\OracleDriver!
It appears as though the Oracle site has not been updated with a driver that matches its latest documentation. However, this does not explain why the driver is not even being loacted when it is in the correct place. Can anybody shed any light on this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.

That's different from a ClassNotFoundException.

I'm using J2SE1.5.0/5.0 and ojdbc14.jar, the latter
of which I downloaded this afternoon as the latest
driver JAR available on the Oracle site. So you got ojdbc14.jar or ojdbc14_g.jar under the 10g drivers?
As with the
MySQL driver, I've placed it in the commons\lib
folder within Tomcat. I think it's a better idea to put in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your Web app rather than commons/lib. WAR files are a very good idea, too.
(I've also, of course, made the
necessary modifications to server.xml and web.xml.)So you're using a JNDI data source? It sounds to me like that's where the problem is.
You should not have to edit the server.xml at all. If you put the <ResourceParams> in a context XML file with the same name as your WAR file into the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory it'll be picked up automatically. (It might also be accessible in the META-INF directory for your app, but I haven't done it that way.)
Upon examining the ReadMe file at the top of the
Oracle download page, I found that the
oracle.jdbc.driver package is now deprecated and all
references to oracle.jdbc.driver should be replaced
with oracle.jdbc.
However, I got a similar error
message when I tried this modification. Upon
examining the contents of ojdbc.jar, I found that the
driver was there and that it was, in fact, still
oracle\jdbc\driver\OracleDriver! The fully-resolved class name you should be using MUST match the class that's in the ojdbc14.jar that you're using. Look in the JAR for the definitive answer: the one that I downloaded is still using the oracle.jdbc.driver package for OracleDriver.class. Ignore the docs - use the name that's in the JAR.
It appears as though the Oracle site has not been
updated with a driver that matches its latest
documentation. That often happens with docs.
However, this does not explain why the
driver is not even being loacted when it is in the
correct place. Can anybody shed any light on this?
Any help would be much appreciated.I think the problem lies in your web.xml and server.xml
I'd recommend that you decouple the JDBC from the Web app for now. See if you can connect to Oracle using a simple desktop app and leave the Web piece out of the equation for now. Once you can do that, you'll be certain that the parameters you're using are correct and you can turn your attention to getting the Tomcat configuration right.
PS - I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.1 and Tomcat successfully right now, so it can be done.

ORA-03115 Error using CLOB with JDBC

When I try to access CLOB field data with JDBC driver, I gets following error:
ORA-03115: unsupported network datatype or representation.
I am using JDBC 8.1.6(Thin), Oracle 8.0.5
on Linux OS.
what's the problem ?
Thank you for any help.
Taesoo.

if it is a bug, then its better to upgrade the database to 10.2.0.4. it is the stable verion in 10g.

Use of MS JDBC Driver

Let me first start by saying I am not an expert at JSP. So this might seem as a easy question to the most of you, but for me it is all new.
I am using a JSP application that uses the sun jdbc driver. Now I am using SQL 2005 and want to create a query with inner joins which not seems to work, so now I want to try the MS JDBC Driver.
Normally the code looks something like this:
<tab:driver>sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</tab:driver>
<tab:url>jdbc:odbc:myodbcsystemdsn</tab:url>
<tab:user>user</tab:user>
<tab:password>password</tab:password>
<tab:sqlselect>SELECT leverancierid, leveranciernaam, leverancieromschrijving from leverancier</tab:sqlselect>
<tab:sqlfilter></tab:sqlfilter>
<tab:keycolumn>leverancierid</tab:keycolumn>
<tab:columnselect>leverancierid,leveranciernaam,leverancieromschrijving</tab:columnselect>
<tab:headline>leverancierid,leveranciernaam,leverancieromschrijving</tab:headline>
That is the normal use of the JDBC driver. But now I want to use the MS JDBC driver voor MS SQL 2005. I know I have to choose this driver in the first line of the above code. But I do not now how te declare it and was not able to find it in the documentation.
Who can tell me how to declare the MS JDBC driver?

The two main things that would have to change
- driver : com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
- url: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433
It may be that this page will help you
http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/learning/jdbc/
You also need to make sure that the files Msbase.jar , Msutil.jar and Mssqlserver.jar are all available in the "classpath"
For a web app, that means these files should be in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
Good luck,

I need Crystal Reports XI R2 RDC merge modules with JDBC driver.

I successfully connected to MySQL server from CR XI R2 designer with JDBC driver. My application is developed in Delphi, using Crystal Reports VCL. I need to build a Installer including executable files, *.rpt files and CR RDC merge modules in Macrovision Installshield 12. But RDC_reportengine is not containing JDBC driver. How I to include and configure the JDBC driver?

I just done these steps. But following error occurs:
Error: 772 error in file C:\...\myreportfile.rpt:

Issue encountered when Login as sysdba role using Thin Oracle JDBC Driver

Hello all,
we are now considering to use Thin oracle JDBC driver to create database in our project, but we met one issue when we tried to connect to oracle as sysdba role using Thin driver, and it throws java.sql.SQLException: Io Exception: SO Exception was generated, I have found some tips on oracle jdbc website and it says :
How do I connect as SYSDBA or SYSOPER?
The only way to do this is to use the Properties object when connecting, rather than specifying the username and password as strings. Put the username into the "user" property, and the password into the "password" property. Then, put the mode into the "internal_logon" property. Something like the following:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "scott");
props.put("password", "tiger");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysoper");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, props);
When connecting as SYSDBA or SYSOPER using the Thin driver, the RDBMS must be configured to use a password file. See "Creating and Maintaining a Password File" in the "Oracle Database Administrator's Guide".
So, i did execute orapwd command to create a password file and also set remote_login_passwordfile=execlusive in my initxxx.ora initial parameter file, however, when i tried to connect, it failed.
private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
sqlStatement.append("create database xxx");
sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "sys");
props.put("password", "password");
props.put("database","xxx");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
statement.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
But what made me puzzled a lot is if i use OCI driver, it did work great, why??? guys, anybody knows, please give me some tips, thanks in advance.
regards,
Kaixuan @ Shanghai

clarify my question in detail:
Step 1 : create password file using orapwd command
Step 2 : create database instance using oradim command
Step 3 : login using sys as sysdba to startup database, e.g startup nomount pfile='...\initxxx.ora'
Step 4 : create database.
java code showing below:
private static void createEmsdbDatabase(){
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:";
StringBuffer sqlStatement = new StringBuffer();
sqlStatement.append("create database xxx ");
sqlStatement.append("maxdatafiles 254 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxinstances 8 ");
sqlStatement.append("maxlogfiles 32 ");
sqlStatement.append("character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("national character set UTF8 ");
sqlStatement.append("DATAFILE 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\system01.dbf' SIZE 18M REUSE ");
sqlStatement.append("logfile 'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo01.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo02.log' SIZE 2M REUSE, ");
sqlStatement.append("'c:\\oracle\\xxx\\redo03.log' SIZE 2M REUSE ");
try {
DriverManager.registerDriver(new OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "sys");
props.put("password", "password");
props.put("database","xxx");
props.put("internal_logon", "sysdba");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, props);
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
statement.executeUpdate(sqlStatement.toString());
statement.close();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
issue was met here, when i tried to login as sysdba using sys, and in my java code, i use Thin driver, it then thrus exception, but when OCI driver is used, it works great, i don't know why.
that is, when i use "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it works great. but, when i use "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:" as database URL and then properties.put("database","xxx"), it failed. hopefully, i have clarified my question clearly. thanks.

I want to connect to a Profile database using the Sanchez JDBC Driver.

I want to connect to a Profile database using the Sanchez JDBC Driver. Is that possible? Would I need to create an extension?

You can't do it directly - only those databases listed in the help under third party databases are supported.
You may well be able to write an extension to connect to an additional database, but it seems like a lot of work.

Use of oracle.jdbc.driver now deprecated.

Hi all,
Just thought of sharing this note with us.,(if its new ..)
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/901_doc/java.901/a90211/overvw.htm#1008871
Extract ...,
Beginning in Oracle9i, the Oracle extensions to JDBC are captured in the package oracle.jdbc. This package contains classes and interfaces that specify the
Oracle extensions in a manner similar to the way the classes and interfaces in java.sql specify the public JDBC API.
Your code should use the package oracle.jdbc instead of the package oracle.jdbc.driver used in earlier versions of Oracle. Use of the package
oracle.jdbc.driver is now deprecated, but will continue to be supported for backwards compatibility.
All that is required to covert your code is to replace "oracle.jdbc.driver" with "oracle.jdbc" in the source and recompile. This cannot be done piece-wise.
You must convert all classes and interfaces that are referenced by an application. Conversion is not required, but is highly recommended. Future releases of Oracle
may have features that are incompatible with use of the package oracle.jdbc.driver.
The purpose of this change is to enable the Oracle JDBC drivers to have multiple implementations. In all releases up to and including Oracle9i, all of the Oracle
JDBC drivers have used the same top level implementation classes, the classes in the package oracle.jdbc.driver. By converting your code to use
oracle.jdbc, you will be able to take advantage of future enhancements that use different implementation classes. There are no such enhancements in Oracle9i, but
there are plans for such enhancements in the future.

Elango.

What are the benefits to using the OCI JDBC driver?

I understand that the Thin JDBC driver is geared toward Applets since it is all Java and relatively small for download. If I am running servlets is there any compelling reason for me to use the OCI driver? I would think my application would be more portable if I stuck with the Thin driver even on the server side. This would allow me to easily move my servlet application to UNIX from NT, Java Web Server to IIS, IIS to Apache... So, does anyone know what one would gain by maintaining the Oracle Client software on the server and using the OCI driver?
Thanks in advance.

It's not a separate account. It's simply an additional address on your existing account and you can use it or not use it at your own convenience. Your @me.com address will be unaffected.

Synonym use through Oracle JDBC driver

I am trying to find out if Oracle JDBC driver can use synonym to get to an oracle object. I connect to one schema, this schema has synonym for this object and grant from other schema which is the owner of this object. Unless, I have this object's name prefixed with the schema name (which is the owner of this object) JDBC driver cannot see it. We move around oracle types(objects) to different schema for house keeping and this make our java code fail. I am trying to find out a way to remove this dependency of tacking schema name front of object name. Can you please let me know that if this is Oracle JDBC diver limitation or I should be something else?

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=48&thread=187964&start=0&range=15#608968
The above link is a comprehensive "How to get set up and on my way" that I made for someone else learning Oracle/jdbc. Kind of a self-help resource page. I would start from the beginning and download the newest drivers, then set up your environment,...etc.
hope this helped,
Jamie

Using third party JDBC driver gives error

In our project , we have to make a call to ingres database. For that we are using JDBC driver from Caribou lake Software. The application works fine when we execute in a stand alone JVM. But we get the following error if we load and try to run within JServer
Unable to instantiate packet driver java.sql.SQLException: socket connection: io error - Unsupported VC socket option
Is it possible to use other JDBC drivers inside JServer ?
Thanks

Thanks Jim, yes a custom url - that's what i want to do - like in jdev. Did you mean the "Custom URL" on the "Oracle" tab in sqldev - this is for the oracle database jdbc driver only - to let you do stuff other than just host and port and sid/service - so I can not use that. But i do want to set up a generic jdbc url - i want to say "use this driver class" with "this url" - I can do it in jdev - since a lot of the code base is shared/similar i expect to be able to set it up in sqldev also - also i think oracle products should at least support other oracle products. I guess this is an enhancement request for the sqldev development team then. Ta Nathan.

JMX with JDBC Driver

Hi,
I am newbie to JMX and trying to explore the JMX feature "Monitoring and Management" . We have implemented Type 3 JDBC driver and we want to include JMX in it. What type of MBeans would be appropriate to use for JDBC Driver?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
-Sushama

One of the most concise explanations I have seen of the different types of MBeans and where each is most appropriate is in the [Javadoc for the javax.management package|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/management/package-summary.html]. I find myself using MXBean as my default type of MBean unless I need the additional functionality (and am willing to deal with the additional complexity of) a dynamic MBean. If using J2SE 5, then the Standard MBean is my default choice because custom MXBeans are not available until J2SE 6. I use the Spring Framework quite a bit with JMX and so indirectly use the ModelMBean quite often as well, though it would be much more effort to use ModelMBeans directly than it is using Spring to do much of it for me.
The simplest and most straightforward approach is to use Standard MBean or MXBean unless you need the additional features the more dynamic MBean types support.

Using Acrobat with Adobe Drive

I am exploring using Acrobat professional with Adobe Drive 2.1. I have not seen an explict statement that Acrobat can use Adobe drive.
Here are my questions:
1. Can Acrobat 9 or 10 interact with Adobe Drive 2.1?
2. Are there any Acrobat limitations to using the exposed Adobe Drive 2.1 CMIS functionality?
Thanks

FatMac>MacPro is correct about using Preview to read PDF's. It is built in, reliable and kept up to date by Apple software updates.
Adobe Reader has had vulnerabilities that can cause your Mac to be attacked via malicious PDF's. Keeping Reader up to date is essential for good security, however Adobe updaters nag so much that it is simpler to avoid installing it if at all possible.
PC users recommend it because they had no PDF support for so long, OS X has always had PDF support from Apple.
