Question

i’m developing an application running on WebLogic 10 and of course in java.

Ok, the thing is that i’m using oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource to manage the transactions, and i’m also trying to set the OracleXADataSource object with InitialContext like this:

     InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
     OracleXADataSource oxds = new OracleXADataSource();
     oxds = (OracleXADataSource)ctx.lookup("cbs.db.CBSDataSrc");

But when i´m running the application this throws me this:

java.sql.SQLException: Error creando la conexion - weblogic.jdbc.common.internal.RmiDataSource cannot be cast to oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource

        ...

Can anybody tell me why i’m getting that RmiDataSource can’t be cast to OracleXADataSource ?

–EDIT–
And acording to this oracle sample that code should work, isn’t it?

Answer 1

The object returned is an RmiDataSource. OracleXADataSource is neither a subclass nor a superclass of RmiDataSource. The RmiDataSource talks directly or indirectly to the OracleXADataSource. It may or may not hold a a reference to the OracleXADataSource.

If you are using an XA data source, you should be using JTA to manage the transactions.
