Resolution

JBoss EAP

Here is an example connection string:

        jdbc:oracle:thin:@(description=(address_list=(load_balance=on)(failover=on)(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=xxxxhost1)(port=1521))(address=(protocol=tcp)(host=xxxxhost2)(port=1521)))(connect_data=(service_name=xxxxsid)(failover_mode=(type=select)(method=basic))))

JBoss Fuse Service Works and SOA Platform

  • Oracle RAC is not currently supported on Fuse Service Works and SOA Platform.
