Hi,

Has anyone used the Oracle OCI driver with Oracle 9i and WebSphere
application server V 5.

Here is my code:

OracleOCIConnectionPool dataSource = (OracleOCIConnectionPool) ( new
InitialContext().lookup(jndiDataSource) );
Properties prop = new Properties();
prop.put( OracleOCIConnectionPool.PROXY_USER_NAME, "byee" );
OracleConnection oc = dataSource.getProxyConnection(
OracleOCIConnectionPool.PROXYTYPE_USER_NAME, prop );

The method call getProxyConnection fails and returns a null pointer.

If anyone knows what might have gone wrong, please let me know.

Thanks.
