Problems setting up oracle JDBC driver in Eclipse

[Preeba Srikanna]

Hello,

I am trying to set-up my jdbcdriver with connection URL - jdbcracle:thin:@server:1521:XE. When I test the connection, It fails with exception as:

java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection

Has anyone come across this exception and know to to resolve it?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This could be one of a number of things:

The JDBC URL you have used is wrong

The database is not running

The database listener is not running

Thanks for the reply. I figured the issue - the URL I was using was wrong...
