在windows下配置Oracle_XA時要注意兩點：

#ORACLE 10
Oracle_XA;xaosw;%ORACLE_HOME% dbms oraxa10.lib%ORACLE_HOME%precompibmsvcorasql10.lib

#oracle 9
Oracle_XA;xaosw;%ORACLE_HOME% dbms oraxa9.lib%ORACLE_HOME%precompibmsvcorasql9.lib

Unix下
Oracle_XA:xaosw:....

第一：在windows 下 ORACLE_XA 和xaosw后面的是分號";"，不是冒號":"
第二：上面的這些LIB寫在一行上，中間用空格分開，如果沒有在系統的環境變量中設置ORACLE_HOME，就寫絕對路徑。

可能是服務器的監聽停掉了，是數據庫的問題，與應用無關；應該先檢查一下oracle是否正常，用sql*plus連接一下數據庫，看能否正常連接；

使用HP-UNIX，Weblogic 8.1,Oracle 9.2.0.5
配置了一個普通的連接池,驅動程序采用oracle的Oracle's Driver(Thin) version 9.0.1, 9.2.0

錯誤情況：
結果使用數據庫連接池時報錯，說沒有連接池資源了。實際上數據庫的連接池完全空閑，并且測試也是對的，Oracle也是正?？梢赃B接、使用的。

問題根源：
通過層層排錯，發現原來后臺在使用Oracle的exp備份一個只有同義詞的用戶，導致exp進程僵死。
殺死exp、重啟Oracle等無法解決問題，最終重啟UNIX，禁止備份只有同義詞的用戶，問題解決。

總結：
應該是Oracle9的exp BUG導致連接池問題，不要使用exp倒出同義詞

Oracle Database Connection (from oracle.com)
PROBLEM
You are attempting to connect to an Oracle instance using JDBC and you are receiving the following error.
java.sql.SQLException: Io exception:
The Network Adapter could not establish connection
SQLException: SQLState (null) vendor code (17002)
Any or all of the following conditions may also apply:
1) You are able to establish a SQL*Plus connection from the same
client to the same Oracle instance.
2) You are able to establish a JDBC OCI connection, but not a Thin
connection from the same client to the same Oracle instance.
3) The same JDBC application is able to connect from a different
client to the same Oracle instance.
4) The same behavior applies whether the initial JDBC connection
string specifies a hostname or an IP address.
REDISCOVERY
To verify whether you are hitting this problem, verify whether the Oracle instance is configured for Multithreaded Server (MTS). If the Oracle instance is not configured for MTS, you are probably encountering a different problem. Otherwise, continue. Try forcing the JDBC connection to use a dedicated server instead of a shared server. This can be accomplished in several ways. For JDBC OCI or Thin, this can be done by reconfiguring the server for dedicated connections only. This approach, however, may not be feasible in many cases. In such cases, the following options apply: For JDBC OCI:
1) Add the (SERVER=DEDICATED) property to the TNS connect string
stored in the tnsnames.ora file on the client.
2) Set the user_dedicated_server=ON in sqlnet.ora on the client.
For JDBC Thin:
You must specify a full name-value pair connect string (the same as it might appear in the tnsnames.ora file) instead of the short JDBC Thin syntax. For example, instead of
"jdbc:oracle:thin::port:sid"
you would need to use a string of the form
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION="+
"(ADDRESS_LIST="+
"(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)" +
"(HOST=host)" +=
"(PORT=port)" +
")"+
")"+
"(CONNECT_DATA="+
"(SERVICE_NAME=sid)"+
"(SERVER=DEDICATED)"+
")"+
")"
If the connection works fine after having made these changes, it is very likely that this is the problem you are encountering. In this case, one last test will help to verify this fact.
Log into the remote host on which the Oracle instance is running and execute the appropriate command to determine what the server 'thinks' its hostname is (i.e. the name that was configured when the server was installed and configured). For example, on a Unix host the 'hostname' command can be used for this purpose.
Using the name displayed (e.g. by the hostname command), exactly as it appeared (i.e. if the output from the hostname command had the domain name included, then include it), return to the client which was unable to connect and try pinging the server.
NOTE: It is critical that you attempt to ping the server using EXACTLY the same hostname you got from the server.
If you are unable to ping the server via this hostname, then you almost certainly hitting this problem. If not, this may be a new issue, but at least you will have found a workaround (i.e. use a dedicated connection).
EXPLANATION
To understand why this problem occurs, one must first understand the differences in how the listener handles connections to shared servers versus dedicated servers.
When connecting to a dedicated server, the client connects to the listener (via hostname or IP address). The listener then spawns a dedicated server process and hands off the socket used to accept the client connection to that server. The client and server then start communicating via the endpoints established by the initial connection. NOTE: There is only one connection in this case. When connecting to a shared server, the initial client connection to the listener is the same. However, with MTS, there is no need to spawn a new server process; a pool of shared processes already exists. Also, clients do not communicate directly with the server processes in MTS; rather, they communicate with a dispatcher.
For this reason, when setting up an MTS connection, the listener sends a redirect message back to the client asking the client to close the connection to the listener and connect to a dispatcher. The information in this message includes the hostname and a port number for the appropriate dispatcher. The redirect message will ALWAYS specify a hostname, even if the client initially provided an IP address.
If, for any reason, the hostname provided to the listener (e.g. by the 'hostname' or another command) doesn't agree with the hostname by which the server is known on the client, the connection fails.
On the other hand, if "(SERVER=DEDICATED)" already appears in the TNS connect string in tnsnames.ora or if "use_dedicated_server=ON" already appears in the sqlnet.ora file, you may find that SQL*Plus and/or JDBC OCI work fine, while JDBC Thin fails.
SOLUTION
Obviously, one solution is to use dedicated servers. However, this may not always be feasible.
The key is to make sure the hostname on both the client and server agree. This can be accomplished by reconfiguring either the client or the server, but there are things to be aware of in both cases.
If the server is configured to return a different hostname, then it is possible that other clients which used to work will now fail.
In some cases, it may not be feasible to reconfigure the client. For example, if the server version of the hostname does not include the domain, you would need to remove the domain portion of the hostname on the client; but, if the client needs to connect to more than one server with the same base name in different domains, this may not be possible, as the hostname may be ambiguous.

問題描述：配置完JDBC后，打開頁面的時候，報出如下錯誤信息：
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve oracThin. Resolved: '' Unresolved:'oracThin' ; remaining name ''
JDBC配置如下：
Connection Pools(連接池)
Name:OracThin
URL:jdbc:oracle:thin.0.0.1:LYSIMIS
Driver Classname:oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
Properties:
user=system
password=manager
dll=ocijdbc8
protocol=thin
數據源配置如下：
Name:OracThin
JNDI Name:OracThin
Pool Name:OracThin
當程序執行到這一步時出錯。
ctx = new InitialContext();
ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup ("OracThin");

錯誤產生原因及解決辦法：

問題描述：Oracle_XA;xaosw;D:oracleora92 dbmsXAORAXA9.lib C:msvcoraSQL9.lib中
xaosw是什么意思

解答：可以參考ORACLE的XA部分的文檔。

問題描述：每次重新啟動服務器時oracle數據庫若沒有關閉，則必須先關閉后在重新啟動redhat advance server，oracle才能夠正常運行
