Hi,

I'm having a strange problem with establishing a JDBC connection.

I'm using the following code to make the connection:

DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
System.out.println("About to open connection");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc20:oracle:thin:@192.168.0.xxxx:1521:test","testuser", "testpwd");

When I put this code in a small standalone test application, it works
fine, and this also seems to show that I don't have a connectivity
problem.

However, when I use this same code in a class file that is being used by
another application (I don't have the source for this other app), I am
getting that SQLException.

Can anyone suggest how I might diagnose this problem?

Thanks,
Jim
