Hello all,

I have been trying to use the OCI driver to connect to Oracle 9i, but have been getting the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection

     at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:179)

Here's my setup:
. Running on 'SunOS beavis 5.7 Generic_106541-17 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-5_10'
. java version is 'Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition
(build 1.3.1-b24)'
. echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH -> /users/david/TestOCI/9.2.0.3:/oracle/lib
. in the '9.2.0.3' directory, I have the following files:
classes12_g9203.zip, libheteroxa9.so, libheteroxa9_g.so, libocijdbc9.so, libocijdbc9_g.so (downloaded from the oracle driver section)

And the sample program that I run, TestOCI.java:

import java.sql.*;
public final class TestOCI {

  private static final String DRIVER = "oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver";   private static final String URL = "jdbc:oracle:oci8:@zool";

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {

      Class.forName(DRIVER);
      Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,"user", "pw");
      Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();

    }
  }
}

I have tried to change the URL to 'oci' instead of 'oci8', same result. It does work perfectly if I use the thin driver however. This is run with the classpath explicitely set to '/users/david/TestOCI/9.2.0.3/classes12_g9203.zip:.' I have also tried to run DbVisualizer (java client) against Oracle with the same setup, and I get the very same exception.

Does anyone have a clue/pointer?
