Getting "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection"

Getting this error when TEST DataSource in WAS?
The test connection operation failed for data source Oracle JDBC Driver DataSource on server server1 at node RCBCTESTNode with the following exception: java.sql.SQLException: The Network Adapter could not establish the connectionDSRA0010E: SQL State = 61000, Error Code = 20. View JVM logs for further details.


Getting this error on the Log from the JDBC jar?

java.sql.SQLException: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
        at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.logon(T4CConnection.java:412)
        at oracle.jdbc.driver.PhysicalConnection.<init>(PhysicalConnection.java:531)G

1. Connect to the Database using SqlDeveloper using the same jdbc jar file.If it works then there is no issue with the Oracle Database connection. if not , then do not read future, fix the Jar. (check for the version compatibility)

2.  If the application is in a different server then , telnet the Db port from that server.

bash-4.2# telnet 10.0.XX.XXX 1521
    Trying...
    Connected to 10.0.XX.XXX.

if this also works then there is no issue with the firewall settings on your app-server. If not, do not read future , ask your network admin to open the port.

3. still having issues?  :) check your connection URL 10 times again n again. Definitely its wrong.

Dear Rushdi Gataderiya,
 you have started in a very positive note and I am happy to hear that from you. But then you have gone on labeling BBS or other Buddhists as extremists. Did you notice any reason for them to be so? Referring your own words, you have stated that Sinhalese enjoy the freedom mostly in the post war ear ect.If so what is the reason for them to be extremists ? The thing you have forgot to mention is about the Muslim Invasions in SL. All of the Muslims Mosques which were destroyed were built on top of Buddhist Temples. do you agree or not? Have we ever heard any issue related to a Mosques destruction in an area where there was no Buddhist Heritage? Why are you not writing any thing on Muslims destroying Buddhist Temples and building Mosques on top of it? Any thing about Asad Sally calling the Kuragala Ancient Temple a 1400 year old Muslim Site? When you point one finger , there is always four fingers pointed at you. The thing you should understand it Buddhism is a way of life in Sri lanka. It has been so for the last 2000 years. We dont have any issues with Muslims or Tamils as long as they live in peace. That has been the case ever since. But when ever the minorities get violent, then the majority has to respond.(that's the nature) You have gone on expressing your displeasure on the Halal Ban? just think it this way, Buddhist Monks are going to charge 10 Rps from every item you purchase. Do you as a Muslim agree to it? Then again you have mentioned about the wrong doings in the resettlement's happening in the north, please take a look at the Cencus records in the North in the late 1960′s. Lastly , not only Muslims in the country are without basic needs like education, why did you neglect that aspect?

Most people think these cartoons are just for FUN.. but just think..  if we see the same cartoons in 10 years time, will it create the same humor as it does today? I guess NO. The next generation will laugh at the cartoonist for being stupid... coz things will change...

BBC Story on HALAL BAN in Sri Lanka

ref link : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21494959

Sinhalese are not asking to ban Halal.. but asking why we are paying more for the product just because they have the Halal License.. Simple Story : Ignore Halal Products, let Muslims buy those...

Australian Prime Minister has done it again for the 2nd time...... !!!! Some thing for us to Learn...

We should take heed in this country.........      Australia says NO - Second time she has done this! AMAZING: You must read it!!!!   Australian Prime Minister does it again!! This woman should be appointed Queen of the World. Truer words have never been spoken. Prime Minister Julia Gillard - Australia Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.   Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'   'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom.'   'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society ... learn the language!'   'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture.'   'We will accept your beliefs, and will not question why. All we ask is that you accept ours, and live in harmony and peaceful enjoyment with us.'   'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, and OUR LIFESTYLE, and we will allow you every opportunity to enjoy all this. But once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Australian freedom, 'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'.' 'If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. We didn't force you to come here. You asked to be here. So accept the country YOU accepted.' Maybe if we circulate this amongst ourselves in Sri Lanka, WE will find the courage to start speaking and voicing the same truths. If you agree please SEND THIS ON and ON, to as many people as you know.    __
