Oracle ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1

Question

For special needs, I use the unzipped jar format ojdbc6.jar.

The code source of my connection to the database oracle is :

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
....

    try
    {

      String driver = "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver";
      String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@x.x.x.x:1521:dev";
      String login = "dev";
      String password = "dev";

      Class.forName(driver);

      DriverManager.getConnection(url, login, password); // Error is generated by this line

    }
    catch (SQLException e)
    {

      System.err.println("error");

    }

    .....

When i launch the program, i have this exception :

Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoauthenticate.setSessionFields(T4CTTIoauthenticate.java:999)
    at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CTTIoauthenticate.<init>(T4CTTIoauthenticate.java:235)

    at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:185)
.......

I use

• ojdbc6.jar (11.2.0.2)

• JRE 1.6.0_24

• Oracle 11g

• The database is accessible and the data connection are correct.

Answer 1

I was looking into the same error above for a RMI server issue. I added -Djava.security.policy=$RMIPATH"/policy.txt" to my runtime script and created a policy.txt file that stated.

grant {
 permission java.security.AllPermission;
};

I hate disabling security but it works... My runtime is 1.8.31
