I have been unable to get the Oracle thin drivers to work with a Java
application. When I try to log in:

conn =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhost:1521:ORA",
"user", "pass");

I get the following error message:

ORA-01005: null password given; logon denied

I am running on AIX 4.2 using JDK 1.1.6 and JDBC driver ver 7.3.4.

This actually works in an applet...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
