Hi All,

Error : Io exception: Connection refused(DESCRIPTION=(TMP=)(VSNNUM=135294976)(ERR=12505)(ERROR_STACK=(ERROR=(CODE=12505)(EMFI=4))))

My class:

public InfoCtrDbConnector() throws Exception
{
this.dbname = "10.200.77.96:1521:WFLOWD1";this.username = "xxxx"; this.password = "xxxx"; }
/***************************************************************************

public Connection getConnection() throws Exception
{
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
this.connection=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc racle:thin:@"+dbname,
username,
password);
return this.connection;
}

/***************************************************************************

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL,username,password);
these two lines works for me
