Oracle XA Exception

[Kalichar Rangantittu]

I am having the following exceptions when using JBoss3.2.3 with Oracle 9i. I posted this on JBoss forums but no answers. jdk1.4.2. Oracle 9iR2 for Win XP/NT/2000. Praying for some here.
oracle-ds.xml file:

 <local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>jdbc/SimpleDataSource</jndi-name>
    <driver-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</driver-class>
    <connection-url>jdbc:connection:thin:@localhost:1521 :-o	 racle</connection-url>
    <user-name>scott</user-name>
    <password>tiger</password>
    <valid-connection-checker-class-name>
     org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleValidConnectionChecker</valid-connection-checker-class-name>
    <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
  </local-tx-datasource>

 

I try to obtain a connection using the data source defined but get a Class Cast Exception. Code to get connection is this:

InitialContext context = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) context.lookup ( "java:jdbc/SimpleDataSource");
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

I get the following exceptions:

 org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Failed to register driver for: oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource; - nested throwable: (java.lang.ClassCastException))

My JBoss Startup denotes that the resource is bound correctly. Further the oracle jdbc jar I am using is in my class path and is ojdbc-14.jar for use with jdk1.4.x. Why am I getting this Class Cast Exception? Do we need to configure Oracle 9i in some way? Please assist. Thanks in advance.
