What I am wanting to do is open a connection to an Oracle Database 12c server using an OracleTranslatingConnection object so I can take advantage of the SQL Translation Framework that I have setup on a local 12c database.
The application I am working on uses Java 7 and Tomcat 7.
If I execute the snippet below outside of Tomcat, a connection is made, simpleQuery is properly translated, and I am given the correct results from the database.
However, if I execute the same snippet using Tomcat (excluding everything related to the Context) I receive the following exception once I reach the line conn = ods.getConnection().
I have ojdbc7.jar and asm-3.3.1.jar (OJDBC needs ClassWriter?) in my classpath when I executed outside of Tomcat. When using Tomcat, the jars are in Tomcat's lib folder and they must be visible because I am able to instantiate those Oracle objects.
I started with Oracle's API reference and ended up on Google with no success at finding a solution. The unhelpful solutions I have found so far involved a ClassNotFoundException with the necessary jars not in the right place, or reconfiguring Tomcat's server/web XML files (which I shouldn't need since I'm creating a data source myself, not looking it up through the Context), or connecting to the database in a way that is not using an OracleDataSource. I need that particular object so I can set the properties of the translation feature (see the line props.put(...)).
Would anyone be able to shed some light on what I'm missing here?
