Special Characters(@ # ! & ) in the Data source password

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are using EAP version : 6.1.1, Oracle : 11g, Oracle Driver : version 11.2 in production Environment.
  • Due to some security reason we forcefully changed the password in the database with combination of special characters (@ # ! & ) ex: ab1jdk@cd!# , We have configured the same password in JBoss Data source and restarted.
  • During the start-up we have seen ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied error, so we thought that this could be with special characters in the password and we have changed the password to char and numeric combination (ex: efghi73jkl1) in the db and data source then it was working fine.
  • What we want to know is, JBoss datasource will not allow the special characters in the password?
