I wrote a servlet program and I want it to connect to my Oracle database but its giving me an error. I am using Eclipse Helios, Tomcat 6.0.37, Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0), ojdbc6.jar(added in run configuration of the Server project). I am able to connect to the database through the SQL Plus interface and even can start a connection from Eclipse's database development perspective. But when i am trying to connect through my servlet I am getting the error. For my servlet i am using the port number 9090 and for the database the default 1521.

This is my code for establishing the connection:

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"); Connection con = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:orcl","username","password");

I tried executing the lsnrctl stat command and this was the result:

    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl.168.1.56)
    )
  )

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had the similar issue. its resolved for me with a simple command.

lsnrctl start

The Network Adapter exception is caused because:

  1. The database host name or port number is wrong (OR)
  2. The database TNSListener has not been started. The TNSListener may be started with the lsnrctl utility.

Try to start the listener using the command prompt:

  1. Click Start, type cmd in the search field, and when cmd shows up in the list of options, right click it and select ‘Run as Administrator’.
  2. At the Command Prompt window, type lsnrctl start without the quotes and press Enter.
  3. Type Exit and press Enter.

Hope it helps.

First check your listener is on or off. Go to net manager then Local -> service naming -> orcl. Then change your HOST NAME and put your PC name. Now go to LISTENER and change the HOST and put your PC name.

    I search out almost whole of that Internet! But this solved my problem. +1 By the way does this `hostname` has to be PC name? or is it just a convention or something? – Asim Mar 05 '15 at 18:25
  • hostname should be different than PC name. – KhiLan PaTeL Oct 05 '15 at 03:21

Chances that DB Listener went down and application is unable to connect to the Database. Listener should be started to fix this.
