Oracle JDBC Driver throwing "Got minus one from a read call"

User_6FWIQ

Hi there,

I'm using a Docker container with Oracle 19c version 19.3.0.0.0 at my machine. I started the container with -p 1521:1521 argument as well. So, for check if is ok, I connected to database via DBeaver and executed some queries. Everything was ok.

However, when I tried to start a Wildfly with ojdbc8.jar JDBC Driver (21c, 19c, 18c, and 12.2 supports) downloaded from Oracle site I got the follow error at server log.

I looked inside Docker container database log and I saw the follow error at same time

Database Log

Fatal NI connect error 12170, connecting to:

  nt secondary err code: 0

  nt OS err code: 0

Also, I started some networks checks like telnet 127.0.0.1 1521 and connection was ok. After that, I figured it was a kind of driver problem because DBeaver was connecting normally at same database.

So, I exchanged Wildfly JDBC driver by DBeaver driver. After that, Wildfly started without any error. My application did queries like expected.

I concluded that it is a driver issue because DBeaver had ojdbc8.jar that it was build to 12.2.0.1.0 database version. The Wildfly jar that I downloaded from Oracle website that it was build to 21.5.0.0.0 database version. I tested another one it was build to 19.3.0.0 but I had the same problem.

Some one from Oracle could analyze these information to be sure if it is a driver issue?

Workaround

After some researches at Google, I found a workaround that works for me without change the JDBC driver. Instead of using 127.0.0.1 or localhost I setup my connection with hosted IP machine. It is works fine. However it is very bad need to do that.
