java.sql.SQLException: Protocol violation

Hi,

While trying to get a connection in JDBC I am getting the error: java.sql.SQLException: Protocol violation.

I don't have any problem with JDBC connection with another Oracle instance on the same machine.

I am using using Servlets in iPlanet web server. The code was working earlier but somehow it is not working now. I suspect it may be something to do with the Oracle db.

Anyone knows why I am getting the Protocol violation error and how it can be resolved?

How is your JDBC connection implemented? Do you use ODBC or Oracle thin or oci JDBC?


F.

Oracle thin client

Guys,

I managed to solve the problem (with Oracle metalink help). When I use Oracle9i JDBC driver, there is no problem. But my db is Oracle8.1.7. JDBC drivers are backward compatible.
