giving correct username& password, get ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Question

I have oracle database configuration in tomcat's server.xml

<Resource name="jdbc/sgfdb" auth="Container"
          driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
          url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@databaseurl:1521:schema"
          username="username" password="password" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10"
          maxWait="-1"
          factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory"
          type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"/>

Then in my web app (spring mvc project), i declear this in context.xml

<Context>
 <ResourceLink name="jdbc/sgfdb"
        global="jdbc/sgfdb"
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
</Context>

I was able to connect to this database before. I didn't work on it for a week. Then now when i try to start it, always get:

SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [action] in context with path [/WebUI] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is javax.persistence.QueryTimeoutException: Could not open connection] with root cause
**java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied**

I am sure the username and password are correct. Could anyone please give me some hint about what's going on here?

Answer 1

Bumped into this thread because I was facing the same problem. The username and password were perfect. Was able to login using those credentials in SQLPlus and from other applications. The datasource.url was also perfect.

While analyzing the errors, found that the ojdbc6.jar that I was using was trying to connect to Oracle 11.1.0.7 whereas my Oracle was 11.2.0.4. Downloaded the latest ojdbc6.jar and tried to connect and voila!

Answer 2

Solved. The problem is I shouldn't use

 factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory"

After remove that, it works good!
