Applet -> Servlet -> JDBC -> Oracle Incompatibility

[pondyprem]

<PRE>

Hi JDBC Ranch !
We have an applet that communicates in the following sequence
Applet <-> RMIServlet <-> JDBC <-> Oracle
initially we had oracle8, and Applet<->RMI was working-fine .. binding to the registry ... fetching data .. saving data ..etc.,
However, after changing to 8i it is not connecting ..
Strange Obsrevation: All the other servlets are connecting to 8i using the same drivers ... but this applet is giving error ...
The applet communicates to RMI servlet which in turn communicates with 8i.
I tried the following:

Oracle8 driver is in class path (816Classes111.zip)
(XOR)

Oracle8i driver is in class path (Classes111.zip)

changed the RMI ports to ensure that port number is not the problem

Following is the error message(from Browser JavaConsole):

Any clues ???

We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please log in with a new name which meets the requirements.
