WebLogic Pool Driver Doesn't Support XA driver - java

I am working in a typical Dev->QA->Production environment, and it appears that our Dev environment is configured differently than our QA environment, but I'm not sure where to look for the problem, as I'm not very familiar with WebLogic's core configuration.
I've developed a web service that uses the Spring framework's distributed transaction support, and all of our JNDI connection entries on the Weblogic server are configured to use the Oracle XA driver. While everything works just fine in our development environment, I am getting the following error on QA:
org.springframework.jdbc.CannotGetJdbcConnectionException:
Could not get JDBC Connection;
nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: Pool connect failed :
java.lang.Exception: WebLogic Pool Driver doesn't support XA driver,
Please change your config to use a Non-XA driver
From what I can gather, this is a configuration issue with Weblogic itself, not the individual JNDI data sources.
I know it's not a lot to go on, but if someone could give me some idea where to start looking, I would appreciate the help.

Turns out our WebLogic Admin had not restarted the connection pool as he said he did. Sorry for posting the question. Everything is working as expected now.

Error starting webapp with Mybatis, c3p0 on Tomcat 8

I am trying to deploy my webapp on Tomcat 8 that uses Mybatis 3.2.7 and c3p0 for connection pooling to connect to an SQLServer database. I have the sqljdbc4.jar in my classpath. I query the database during my webapp startup to get some values.
The application works in Tomcat 7, however on Tomcat 8, I cannot connect to the database. I debugged a lot using eclipse and the root cause is in the file BasicResourcePool.class file in c3p0 where it is waiting for resource to become available but then throws an java.lang.InterruptedException.
Due to this, Mybatis is throwing a java.SQL.SQLException and thus my webapp does not start as it cannot connect to the database.
Has someone else upgraded to Tomcat 8 and has successfully used Mybatis-c3p0? If yes am I missing something over here?
Solved this. It was JDBC driver issue. Mybatis isn't very good in showing underlying exceptions it seems.
Found this on tomcat 8's documentation:
Thus, the web applications that have database drivers in their
WEB-INF/lib directory cannot rely on the service provider mechanism
and should register the drivers explicitly.
So, I added a Class.forName() with the appropriate driverClass during app startup and this solved my issue.

JDBC Connection Pool / JDBC resource

I am a beginner working on a project in Netbeans and using Glasshfish, but I have to deploy on TOMCAT on Elastic BeanStalk. I don't know anything about tomcat. To connect to my database, I use Entity Classes and a named connection jdbc/whatever (I hear this is called a JDNI name) in my persistence.xml.
On the Glassfish server bundled with Netbeans, I added a Connection pool and a JDBC resource. This was done with a GUI. It was super simple. Create the JDBC connection pool after you stuffed the right driver in the right folder by pointing to the location of server/password/etc. Then point the jdbc resource at the pool.
Now I need to do this with TOMCAT and XML. I have no idea what I am doing...
How do I create a connection pool which all my applications can reach?
How do I then get JNDI? set up that persistence.xml can reference and make the magic db stuff happen?
How do I then set up a jdbc authentication realm based on this database?
It was magic in Glassfish is it was so GUI. But I don't have a GUI for TOMCAT.
I am using spring.

Play Framework 2.2.2 on Tomcat 7 - Remove BoneCP

I have a Play Framework 2.2.2 application that I am deploying as a .war file and running under Tomcat 7. My application runs for days without problems on my local dev machine (through Play's built in server, not Tomcat), but once I deploy it under Tomcat, after several hours the Tomcat server will lock up, taking down all the other applications running on it as well.
I think the problem is that the BoneCP connection pool in Play, and the built-in connection pool of Tomcat are conflicting. There isn't much or any useful information in the Tomcat logs, so I'm kind of left guessing here.
I'd like to disable the BoneCP connection pooling within my Play application, but cannot find any information on how to do so.
Any advice appreciated!
There are several possible solutions for this, which might be more or less preferrable for your deployment environment.
Play gives you an "out-of-the-box" database connection, which you don't need to use. Drop the Play JDBC component from your build file (remove jdbc from your libraryDependencies) and setup your JDBC connections manually by yourself. For example, you can make a singleton TomcatConnectionPool that has a function getConnection() that gives you the JDBC connection you need for use in your Play actions.
Write your own plugin specifically extending Play's DBPlugin interface so that it's a database plugin. Implement it like Play's BoneCPPlugin but make it use the Tomcat connection pool instead of BoneCP.
Use someone else's already made custom Play Database Plugin, like this one that uses c3p0. I have some anecdotal evidence that c3p0 works well with Tomcat, but your mileage my vary.

How to set autoCommit to false in Websphere 8.5.5 database connection

I have an application deployed on Websphere 8.5.5 using an Oracle 12c db connection and I am not able to login to the application. The error I get is:
java.sql.SQLException: Could not commit with auto-commit set on
at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.commit(PhysicalConnection.java:4439)
at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.commit(PhysicalConnection.java:4486)
at oracle.jdbc.OracleConnectionWrapper.commit(OracleConnectionWrapper.java:140)
at com.ibm.ws.rsadapter.jdbc.WSJdbcConnection.commit(WSJdbcConnection.java:1144)
at
Is there a way in Websphere to set this property to false? So far I have tried creating a custom property for the datasources autoCommit = false , type=boolean.
Any ideas? Cheers
There is IBM support page that describe your problem, I hope this help.
IBM support page.
It seems that there is a problem with Oracle 12c drivers.
I was having the same problem here on Websphere Liberty Profile using ojdbc7.jar driver. I've download 11.2.0.3's ojdbc6.jar driver from here, and suddenly, it started working.

How do I use JDBC's data source?

I've tried researching how to use the DataSource method of connecting to a database but never could find out how. I know that a DataSource is first configured and registered to JNDI in an application that is separate from the user application, and all the user application will do is retrieve it using JNDI. What I don't understand is where the DataSource is configured. Is it automatically registered when I turn on MySQL, do I need to download another application to register it, or do I make a new class that will do that for me?
You usually have a Java EE app server like Glassfish, WebLogic, JBOSS, Tomcat, or Jetty have a JNDI provider that you should be using for the lookup.
Here's how you do it with Oracle.
Here's how you do it with MySQL.
The JDK 6 javadocs say that a basic DataSource can supply a connection if your driver has such an implementation. I would recommend looking at the Connector-J docs to see if you can do it without JNDI lookup services.
