Re: Anyone experience any problems with JDBC Oracle drivers and JDK 1 .3.1 with connection pooling?

[Andrew Panagos]

A better place to discuss these problem may be on Oracle's developers site where there are lots of problems to talk about and there are lots of Oracle experts to discuss with. (by the way there are several discussions about problems with jdk1.3.0 and oracle drivers). With our app the program would hang in a select and would never return. This is bad enough but eventually Orion would lock up and we could not access Orion at all. Not even to shut it down. I had to kill -9 it. Now it could just be the combination of Solaris, Oracle, java, blah blah coupled with the fact that this is quite a complex large enterprise solution (An exchange for trading in Metals). It could be that it just pushes some things to the limit and maybe most people wouldn't experience these problems but they are documented in Java and Oracle docs as known bugs.   Anyway just changing the drivers and environment without changing any of the application software eventually produced a stable app. (Not real reassuring)   ap ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon Evans To: Orion-Interest Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 7:22 PM Subject: RE: Anyone experience any problems with JDBC Oracle drivers and JDK 1 .3.1 with connection pooling? there are no problems with jdk1.3 and oracle drivers...if you post the error, maybe the group can help -----Original Message----- From: Duffey, Kevin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 2:30 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Anyone experience any problems with JDBC Oracle drivers and JDK 1 .3.1 with connection pooling? I have been trying to figure out why I can't connect to our Oracle database. We are running JDK 1.3.1 with Orion 1.5.2. We are using the jdbc.zip (I assume classes12.zip). I am reading on Oracle that Oracle 8.1.7 (and 8.1.5) only have JDBC drivers that support JDK 1.2.x. Does this mean running JDK 1.3.1 is a BAD move when using JDBC drivers from Oracle? Should I go back to JDK 1.2.2 for Orion? There are problems with JDK 1.2.2, such as the NT-LOGOFF and what not when running Orion as a service that I am trying to avoid. Please advise me if running Orion with JDK 1.3.1 (on Win2K Server or Solaris) is OK while using Oracle 8.1.5 and/or Oracle 8.1.7 databases and jdbc drivers.   Thanks.
