jdbc DB2 queryTimeout not working as expected

We are facing issue with the the query timeout property on Db2, it is working when we are running the app in WebSphere, then we moved to Tomcat, this issue was recently caught up by a very long query that hangs very long until timeout after 45 minutes, some pieces of the code we have as below, they haven't been changed since moving to Tomcat:
CallableStatement cs = statementFactory.createCallableStatement(getConnection(), source.getSQL(),
statementConfig);
cs.setQueryTimeout(10);
boolean resultSetAvailable = cs.execute();
if (resultSetAvailable) {
resultSet = cs.getResultSet();
} else {
resultSet = CallableStatementParamsUtils.checkForOutResultSet(cs, storedProc);
}
I set up the timeout to be 10 secs, but it didn't timeout at all, anybody knows why?
The difficulty is Db2 driver is not open source, not able to debug it, How can I solve this issue using Db2?

In this case, the use of a jdbc type 4 driver appeared to help to resolve the issue.
Note that the IBM db2 jdbc driver supports tracing for problem determination as described here.
When dealing with jdbc issues with Db2, it is always helpful to ensure you are using the most recent jdbc driver, available via this page.
From the comments, the previous jdbc driver was a type-2 driver (which supports query timeouts only in specific configurations as IBM documents in the Db2 knowledge center, the notes are copied below).
The various IBM notes on this page concerning queryTimeout support in jdbc are essential reading , viz:
For DB2 for i, this method (setQueryTimeout) is supported only for a seconds value of 0.
For IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 2 connectivity on Db2 for z/OS, Statement.setQueryTimeout is supported only if
Connection or DataSource property queryTimeoutInterruptProcessingMode
is set to INTERRUPT_PROCESSING_MODE_CLOSE_SOCKET.
For IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 2 connectivity on Db2 on Linux, UNIX, and Windows systems, Statement.setQueryTimeout is
supported only if Connection or DataSource property
queryTimeoutInterruptProcessingMode is set to
INTERRUPT_PROCESSING_MODE_STATEMENT_CANCEL.
For the IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ Version 4.0 and later, Statement.setQueryTimeout is supported for the following
methods:
Statement.execute
Statement.executeUpdate
Statement.executeQuery
Statement.setQueryTimeout is supported for the Statement.executeBatch
method only when property queryTimeoutInterruptProcessingMode is set
to INTERRUPT_PROCESSING_MODE_CLOSE_SOCKET (2).

Is there a difference in the way hibernate connects to db and the way a simple java program does?

I have used the exact same Driver Name, Connection URL , User Name and Password for connecting to my Oracle 11g Express edition database running on my local(same) machine from 2 codes.
Simple Java code to connect to DB and read values from a table.
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:xe",
"SYSTEM","Platz#123"
);
In Hibernate persistence.xml
The Simple java connection works as expected, However Hibernate gives me the error "java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied".
Does this has to do anything with the oracle installation configurations on my machine? Or if it is something else.
Could you please provide and explanation and the way out.

I believe the standard JPA property name for the user name is:
javax.persistence.jdbc.user
Not:
javax.persistence.jdbc.username

How could I connect my Eclipse IDE with the Oralce 11g in Windows 8?

I want my java program to handle Oracle SQL queries. For that, I have written the following code.
on running this code it shows the following errors.
I don't know how to connect my Eclipse IDE with the Oracle. How could I connect my Eclipse IDE to the Oracle and how to get rid of these errors? And I don't want to connect to any online oracle servers, I googled and get suggestions for connecting to online servers.
How could I connect my Oracle 11g with my Eclipse Kepler in Windows 8?

Please check below :
Driver version and DB version should be same.
Try login with sqlplus or some clients like Toad, SQL developer.
The number of connections allowed may exceeded, result in TNS listener error, that you may got minus one from read call error in stacktrace. If connections are exceeded kill inactive connections.
Try establishing connection like below
DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USER,PASS);

Above exception your are getting when operating system has some internal environment problem.
I have got same problem with type 4 driver. But type 1 driver not giving this exception. So start using the type 1 oracle driver.
You can check the sid port in tnsnames.ora file which is in below location.
C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN\SAMPLE\tnsnames.ora

why JDBC gives error "undefined function SOUNDEX in expression"

I am developing a database application in Java. I want to use SOUNDEX() function of SQL, but when I try to do this, I get an error reporting "undefined function SOUNDEX() in expression". Is it really undefined?
My query is as follows:
SELECT * from students WHERE SOUNDEX(studentName) = SOUNDEX('ali');

This is not an issue with JDBC, but with the database server you are using. As far as I see, only MSSQL supports the SOUNDEX function. So if you are using MySQL, Derby or an other database server, you are unable to use it. Which one do you use?
To verify that this is a database problem and not a JDBC problem, you can manually connect to the SQL server and then try to perform the query.

Java ODBC and Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0

I want to access a database using a connection string that is given by a third party application. I have one example configuration that has a connection string like the following:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\path\to\theDatabase.mdb;Persist Security Info=False
Calling
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:" + connectionString);
gives me an SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
The third party application can access the database without problems.
The OS is Windows XP Service Pack 3 and up to date.
The msjet40.dll in system32 folder has version 4.0.9511.0 (up to date according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239114/en-us)
The file exists and I can access it using jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};C:\path\to\theDatabase.mdb
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Problem is in your odbc connection
To connect access database try following
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:connSource");
goto ControlPanel->AdministrativeTools->DataSource(ODBC)->System DSN->ADD->MicrosoftAccess->
then in the name field give the Source Name as connSource.
you have to use this name instead of database name in your DriverManager.getConnection method.
Because getConnectionMethod take the source name not the database name. so your code is not working.

This might be a problem. I don't know of any JDBC drivers for OLE DB data sources. Here on SO this questions sits without answers from March: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5184046/jdbc-oledb-bin .

Refer to the wesite below it contains connection strings of all variants for all the databases
