Question

I am trying to learn Spring MVC by following through some of the examples at:

http://krams915.blogspot.com/2012/01/spring-mvc-31-jqgrid-and-spring-data_1887.html

I have the project running fine and happy in MySQL, but I need to try and get this running in Oracle. I have ported the database no sweat. The oracle xe server is 11g release 2. The server is running on the same machine (localhost) and I am able to connect to it using SQL developer using the information below.

I have the following in my properties file:

#oracle
app.jdbc.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
app.jdbc.url=jdbc\:oracle\:thin\:@localhost\:1521\:DATABASENAME
app.jdbc.username=DATABASENAME
app.jdbc.password=PASSWORD

#mysql
#app.jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#app.jdbc.url=jdbc\:mysql\://localhost/DATABASENAME
#app.jdbc.username=USERNAME
#app.jdbc.password=PASSWORD

Like I said, uncommenting the MySQL it works fine, not sure where I am going wrong with the Oracle settings.

The error I’m getting

Answer 1

If you are using Oracle XE, the database name should always be XE. It seems unlikely that the username that you want to use is XE as well– did you really create a user named XE? Assuming that the user that you created to own all the database objects is not XE, the configuration should be something like

app.jdbc.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
app.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:XE
app.jdbc.username=USERNAME
app.jdbc.password=PASSWORD
