Last updated on JULY 03, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle WebCenter Portal - Version 11.1.1.4.0 to 11.1.1.9.161018 [Release 11g]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
 

Symptoms

When attempting to connect to the database using a data source from a portlet deployed to the WC_Portlet container, the portlet can't connect to the database.
This same application works when deployed to the JDeveloper IntegratedWebLogicServer.


The WC_Portlet.out shows the following error:

Steps To Reproduce:

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps:

  1. Create a Producer with a Portlet that connects to the database using a Data Source.
    For example:


    Where server is the server name where the WebCenter domain is running.

  2. Call the Portlet from WebCenter Spaces or a custom WebCenter consumer application.
    You will see the Portlet can't connect to the database.

    The WC_Portlet.out file should show the error mentioned above.
