Weblogic 9.2 Oracle Thin Driver and BLOB/CLoB ClassCastExceptions

Hi,
I think I may be about to ask a question that has been asked many times but I'm just trying to find the definitive best approach, if any to solve this problem.
I'm working with Weblogic 9.2 on Windows. I have a couple of JDBC Oracle DataSources configured for container connection pooling and the driver that I'm using is the "Oracle's Driver (Thin) Versions 9.0.1,9.2.0,10". When retrieving a Blob from the DB we're calling
oracle.sql.BLOB.blob = (oracle.sql.BLOB)(rs.getBlob(..))
This results in a java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.jdbc.wrapper.Blob_oracle_sql_BLOB
The same also occurs for Clobs.
I found a link to an article written in 2003 (http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=200019959&tstart=0) that suggests writing your own OracleConnection wrapper class.
I'm just wondering does anybody know if BEA have done anything to fix this problem, we're now on Weblogic 9.2 and this issue is still occuring. I'd rather not go down the route of writing additional code just so we can tell our customers that they can run on Weblogic (when they can successfully already run on Websphere and Tomcat).
Thanks,
Aoife

For anyone who was wondering I managed to get this working though I do unfortunatley have to place a weblogic specific class in to my code :-(

  • Compatibility of Weblogic 6.1 Oracle Thin Driver for Oracle 9i. - URGENT Reply Needed..Thanks.

    Hi, We are using Weblogic 6.1. We are currently using JDBC Oracle Thin Driver (ClassName
    : oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver) that is built into Weblogic 6.1 (weblogic.jar).
    Our database is Oracle 8.1.7.4. We want to upgrade to Oracle 9i (Oracle version
    9.2.0.4). I would like to know the compatibility of this built-in Driver for Weblogic
    6.1 with Oracle 9i (9.2.0.4) and can I continue to use the same JDBC driver. Also
    we have plans to upgrade our Weblogics to 8.1 version. Can we continue to use
    the same Oracle Thin driver that comes as part of WLS 8.1, for Oracle 9.2.0.4.
    I need this reply ASAP. I appreciate any help in this regard.
    Thanks, Venkatesan.

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    Hi. The driver we shipped will still work with the later DBMS, but there
    have been many improvements and fixes to Oracle's dirver since then,
    so I highly recommend that you download Oracle's latest appropriate
    thin driver, and make sure it gets into the -classpath argument that
    the weblogic startup script creates for the server.
    Every release of weblogic will tend to include the latest oracle
    thin driver available at the time, so the 8.1 will contain a newer one
    than
    the 6.1.

  • Weblogic 8.1/Oracle 9 Writing and Reading Clob

    I’m trying to write and read a clob to a database table. The database table has
    an Id field (int) and a Content field (clob).
    My environment consists of Weblogic 8.1, and Oracle 9. Is there a way to get a
    handle to a Weblogic connection to Oracle and then write and read clobs?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Problem 1. US7ASCII and Linux - Status Resolved.
    The issue with the BEA 817 JDBC driver not connecting to the US7ASCII database tuned out to be that it had not deployed the connection pool correctly from the weblogic admin console... or that it was reported as being deployed when in fact it was not. After re-deploying the connection pool and restarting the server we were able to connect.
    The patch was for character sets was not needed.
    Problem 2. Oracle Stored Proc error.
    The problem with the stored procedures tunred out to be with ref cursors. A patch in sp3, and a change to the way we called the stored proc allowed us to fix the problem.
    The problem is reproduced when connecting to an Oracle 8.1.7 server.
    It was introduced in the Connect JDBC driver build 3.0.0007. According
    to the jdbcread.me file which comes with the 3.0.0007 build we
    deprecated the refCursorSupport connection property. This could be
    related to the driver not being able to execute a stored procedure
    containing ref cursors.
    Resolution
    Driver was fixed in the Connect JDBC 3.1 Oracle driver version 3.1.0008
    The trick was to use
    "{call PROC(?,?)}"
    instead of
    "BEGIN PROC(?, ?);
    END;"
    Here is a very useful link on the matter:

    The code itself is fine; the problem is with one of:
    1) the connection URL
    2) intermediate networking
    3) the database itself
    1) your connection URL is "jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:orcl"
    - is Oracle really running on the default port, 1521
    - is the installation SID really "orcl"
    2) lots of possibilities, but only a couple are likely
    - is TCP/IP configured and running on your host
    - is there a persoanl firewall rpduct running? perhaps it's blocking the connection
    3) Is Oracle running?
    Is the listener running?

  • ORA01002 with Oracle thin driver - not with JDriver

    Hi,
    I use weblogic 5.1 SP10. I was using the weblogic JDriver to create a connection
    pool for my entity beans with BMP. I switched from the weblogic Jdrivers to using
    the Oracle thin driver (classes12.zip) for my connection pool. Now i get a ORA-01002
    (fetch out of sequence) for my ORACLE 8.1.6 SELECT FOR UPDATEs. I can solve this
    by - explicitly setting autocommit to false for the connection. This is within
    in the EJB transaction.
    Why I have to do this with the Oracle thin driver and not with the Weblogic JDriver
    Any thoughts on this are appreciated !

    From this I assume that you know what you are doing but I have to ask, are you
    using the TxDataSource to obtain the connection in your BMP entity beans? If
    so, I would talk to support...

  • CachedRowSet problem in Weblogic 6.1 and Oracle thin driver 9.0.1

    Has anyone used the CachedRowSet class successfully? (this classes are
    new and from the JDBC extension pack)
    I am experiencing "Not in a transaction" errors when executing
    cachedrowset.populate(resultset), even though I'm inside a correct
    ut.begin and ut.commit transaction.
    Note I don't have these problems when I don't use the CachedRowSet
    classes.
    If I remove the setFetchSize(50) line, then I receive the ORA-01002:
    fetch out of sequence error, which is discussed in another post on
    this newsgroup.
    I don't have any of these problems at all, if I use the Oracle Thin
    Driver directly (i.e. not using Weblogic 6.1).
    -H
    Example of code:
    stmt = getConnection().createStatement();
    stmt.setFetchSize(50);
    stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM ASSET");
    rs = stmt.getResultSet();
    crs = new CachedRowSet();
    crs.populate(rs);

    Hi! I have a problem with CLOB column in Oracle 8.1.7. My enviroment
    is:
    Windows 2000, BEA WLS 6.1 and Oracle 8.1.7. I'm trying to use
    'classes12.zip' provided by Oracle. I added 'classes12.zip' to
    CLASSPATH after than 'weblogic.jar' in my startup server script, but
    it fails when trying to retrieve a CLOB data from database. Script
    includes:
    setCLASSPATH=.\classes12_01.zip;.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;
    >
    But this driver and the code runs sucessfully with the same database
    and weblogic 5.1. I'm interesting in use this driver and this code
    because i'm trying to migrate two applications from WLS 5.1 to WLS 6.1
    I cannot find a solution.
    Can everybody help me, please? It's urgent for me...

    Hi Joe !
    I didn't get what you would like to point out. Actully, I am using same config.,
    but not to disclose the info. I gave you @test and username/password xxx/xxx.Ok. Now, assuming your pool looks like what I showed, the issue is probably
    that there are multiple Oracle driver zips around, and your standlaone program
    is using a different, newer, better one than the server. Our weblogic jar files
    include a classes12.zip Oracle thin driver, but there are multiple versions of
    classes12.zip, and the latest from oracle is better than the one we sealed into
    our packaging. Please use jave -verbose to identify exactly which Oracle sip file
    you are using in the successful case, then make sure this zip file comes before
    any weblogic stuff in your weblogic server's classpath, so we'll use the same
    driver. This should work. Edit the script you sue to start weblogic to verify
    the classpath does end up with the oracle driver ahead of all weblogic stuff.

  • Using oracle thin driver from Weblogic server 6.1

    Hi
    I need to know which driver is best for establishing JDBC Connection i.e.
    whether to use JDriver provided with Weblogic or to go using Oracle thin driver.
    Can some one tell the detailed procedure involved in configuring oracle thin driver
    in Weblogicserver 6.1.
    Thanks in advance,
    S Gopikrishna

    I would recommend using the thin driver where ever possible, their are
    certain problems with thin driver which are more in the area of XA support
    you can check weblogic documentation for pointers on this. Oracles latest
    thin driver is pretty stable as they have fixed a bunch of problems.
    heres how to use thin driver:
    create the connection pool using the following url
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@<mc-name or ip-address>:<port-no>:<oracle sid>
    and driver: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
    You dont have to install the thin driver its bundled with the product.

  • Using Oracle thin driver with Weblogic 6.1

    hi all,
    i am trying to create a ConnectionPool using WLS6.1 and Oracle 8.0.5.
    Since i cannot use the weblogic driver (due to the old version of oracle that
    i have)
    i am trying to use instead the oracle thin driver.
    i configured my pool as follows:
    URL jdbc:oracle:[email protected]:1521:ORC1
    Driver oracle.jdbc.Driver.OracleDriver
    Propeties user=SCOTT
    when i try to assing the created pool to a server (using the 'Target' link),
    i always got this exception
    weblogic.management.DeploymentException: Error creating connection pool - with
    n
    ested exception:

    your url should be

    notice the ':' before the '@'.

  • Problem in getting Time info with webLogic using Oracle Thin Driver

    We have a servlet to store/retrieve date/time data from an Oracle 9i db using use the Oracle thin driver. Everyting is ok when run on JSDK2.1 servlet container or Tomcat. But when run under WebLogic 8.1, we have problem with time portion info, it is lost. After debuging, we found under WebLogic, the returned object type is a java.sql.Date which by definition has no time info, while in other servlet containers, it is a java.sql.Timestamp. Storing date/time data in a Date column is ok under WebLogic because we see the time portion data in the db table. We did not set anything about database/jdbc in WebLogic.
    It would be greatly appreciated if someone can explain what effect WebLogic has on a servlet that has its own jdbc connection or how WebLogic could change data type from a jdbc sql statement.

    That's a function of the JDBC driver, not the J2EE app server.
    Sounds like maybe you're using the WebLogic 8.1 driver when you deploy with WL instead of the Oracle driver. You certainly can deploy with the Oracle driver. Go into the WL config manager and set it up to use the ojdbc14.jar instead.

  • JDBC Thin driver and Oracle names server

    Hi
    Any managed to get the Thin driver to user the Names Server aliases, ie I want to connect to service xxx like
    jdbc:oracle:thin:@xxxx and not specify instance and port as the DB is running in a multiple machine cluster and can be switched to a different machine...
    With OCI driver I have managed on NT but having problem with OCI/Linux and Beta 10g...
    Tks
    Andre

    I don't have much experience with OCI from JDBC, but should work like any other kind of connection via SQL*Net. I.e. I would check if connection can be made using SQLPlus, check environment variables (ORACLE_HOME etc.) of 9iAS instance, check version of JDBC classes and their readme.txt. There are also some settings in sqlnet.ora file which might affect this (like default domain - try to use full name of alias - OCRL.WORLD or whatever alias you have there). You may also want to switch tracing for SQLNet and/or listener on (it's not easy to find in doc how to do it, though) to check if there is at least some traffic between klient and server...

    I am trying to connect to Oracle 8.1.5.0.0 with Oracle thin driver 8.1.5. However I keep getting error ORA-24327. Any suggestions on how to fix this error?

    Hi,
    Does XML parser for PL/SQL work with Oracle 8.1.5? Did any one install the
    same and if so what are steps to follow? I ran initjvm.sql to install
    JServer and then tried to load jar files using loadjava, but it's giving
    error. It's working fine with Oracle8.1.6.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,

    Oracle XML Parser has differents distributions for 8.1.5 and 8.1.6 databases, try the correct version, then runs the oraclexmlsqlload.csh from the lib directory of XSU distribution.
    Best regards, Marcelo.

  • Error in creating Connection Pool using Oracle Thin Driver

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a connection pool in WS 5.1 with sp #6 using Oracle Thin Driver (oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver) on a Sun box. But I am able to create the pool using weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver. I get an DBMS Driver exception when I use thin driver. I have LD library path and weblogic class path set correctly. WL shows the following exception :
    weblogic.common.ResourceException: weblogic.common.ResourceException:
    Could not create pool connection. The DBMS driver exception was:
    java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the
    connection
    at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java)
    at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.<init>(OracleConnection.java)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.getConnectionInstance(OracleDriver.java)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java)
    Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hi Ramu,
    Please post your connection pool setting here. You might have missed some
    port/server info. The driver is unable to connect to the db server here.

    Did you setup the JDBC library classpath correctly?
    For me, e.g. Oracle 7.3.4, the classpath should be:
    export CLASSPATH = /oracle7.3.4/jdbc/lib/classes.zip:%CLASSPATH%
    Noted that the JDBC classpath must be the first classpath element in
    the export
    statement.

  • How to use oracle thin driver?...pls help

    Hello. I am trying to insert a word file into my Oracle 9i database using JSP. I have tomcat running as my standalone server. So far, i have been using the sun.jdbc.odbc driver to implement all my DB accesses. Recently however, i found out that in order to use Oracle specific objects such as BLOBS or BFILES, i have to use the oracle thin driver or OCI driver.
    So far, i have downloaded the thin driver and put it into the tomcat shared/common folder and also put the .jar file into my classpath. Now, i am having trouble as to how to call the oracle thin driver inside my JSP code.
    My previous code read as:
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Andy","user","pass");
    How do i switch over to the oracle thin driver in JSP? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you
    Andrew

    Class.forName ("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:SSID", "user", "password");
