invalid SQL url specified

[wenkai hsieh]

Dear Pro.:
i tried to test my driver version, and the error message is:
Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Invalid Oracle URL specified
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:168)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:210)
at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:273)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriver.java:182)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:512)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:171)
at Test.main(Test.java:6)
i used thin driver, my database is wendb, user is wen, pwd is wen
below is my tnsnames.ora data:
# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File: D:\oracle\ora81\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
WENDB =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = wenkai)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = WENDB)
)
)
INST1_HTTP =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = wenkai)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = SHARED)
(SERVICE_NAME = WENDB)
(PRESENTATION = http://admin) )
)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = PLSExtProc)
(PRESENTATION = RO)
)
)
what would be the correct URL:
Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc racle:thin:@?:?:?","wen","wen");
thank you...

Does
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc: oracle:thin:@wendb","wen","wen");
work?

The URL I use looks like this:
"jdbc:oracle:thin:USERID/PASSWD@HOST:PORT:DBNAME";
So...
"jdbc:oracle:thin:wen/wen@wenkai:1521:wendb"
Try that.
You may have to specify the full name of the host/server. I specify HOST.companyname.com for the host name.
