Veeva Vacations Sample application - Error connecting to database

Question

I am new to WebCenter and I am trying to go through the Veeva Vacations Sample. I am having trouble creating a New Database Connection as described on page 8 of the Veeva_Hands_on.pdf.
I enter the Host of *127.0.0.1*, Port of *8080* and when I test the connection I get the following error.
Io exception: Got minus one from a read call
Any suggestions?

Hi Jeroen,
Thank you for your response. I am working through the Veeva Vacations example that can be found at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/owcs_10132_demos.html
I am trying to create a Database Connection in JDeveloper. Starting on page 8 of the veeva_hands_on.pdf it asks you to Define a Database Connection. On page 10 it provides the connection details. Host Name: localhost, JDBC Port 1521. When I try this I get the following errror:
Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor
The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
localhost:1521:ORCL
So I tried changing it to Host Name: 127.0.0.1, JDBC Port: 8080, which is the Host and port that I see in the URL when I log into the Oracle Database Express Edition from the 10g Database Home page. With this configuration I get the following error:
Io exception: Got minus one from a read call
I am running in a Windows environment with no Firewall software installed that I am aware of...
Thank you for your time
