Oracle 10g jdbc encoding issue

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Hi,

I installed and manually configured JForum with Oracle 10g.
The NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS are:
NLS_LANGUAGE=AMERICAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET=AL32UTF8

App server = Weblogic 8.1.4
Using a datasource to an Oracle JDBC thin Pool.

Getting an error when trying to hit the main page:

net.jforum.exceptions.RepositoryStartupException:
Error while trying to start ForumRepository:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression

at net.jforum.ForumStartup.startForumRepository(ForumStartup.java:102)
at net.jforum.JForum.init(JForum.java:112)
. . .


The server log showing:
INFO [FileMonitor ] Watching C:\bea\user_projects\domains\portalDomain\portalServer\stage\_appsdir_jforum_war\jforum.war/WEB-INF/config/database/generic/generic_queries.sql
INFO [FileMonitor ] Watching C:\bea\user_projects\domains\portalDomain\portalServer\stage\_appsdir_jforum_war\jforum.war/WEB-INF/config/database/oracle/oracle.sql
INFO [FileMonitor ] Watching C:\bea\user_projects\domains\portalDomain\portalServer\stage\_appsdir_jforum_war\jforum.war/WEB-INF/config/SystemGlobals.properties


The JDBC trace is showing this:

SQLException: SQLState(null) vendor code(17055)
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid character encountered in: failAL32UTF8Conv

I have tried the following property in the Pool:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8

Seems like some kind of error during the parsing of the SQL.

Any ideas?

Thanks

version 2.1.4

I have other apps in this server with the 10g backend, using the same JDBC driver, and they do not have an issue.

I did come accross a ClassNotFound exception before this problem.
It could not find the class net.jforum.dao.oracle.OracleDataAccessDriver
specified in the oracle.properties file.
So, in the oracle.properties (got from cvs) I changed it to dao.driver=net.jforum.drivers.oracle.DataAccessDriver instead which I saw deployed in the WEB-INF/classes and it worked.

Thanks for your help.

Version 2.1.4 does not correctly supports oracle. You have to use version 2.1.5. Check the pre-relese here: https://coderanch.com/t/575752
