Hi
just about to give up on Tomcat and Geoportal Server 1.0 Cannot get geoportal server to connect via the JDBC drivers. I'm using a simple adapter to connect via the gpt.xml file. Correct user name and password. Yet when I boot up tomcat the log files state com.esri.gpt.framework.sql.DatabaseReference testConnection SEVERE: Connection test failed. java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied. That's without even going near the site.
I've followed the instructions of how to install geoportal, and the only slightly different setup I have is that I've used Microsofts IIS's Application Request Routing to forward requests for /geoportal to tomcat. This seems to work fine, I can bring up the geoportal site no problem. Login as the Administrator I defined in geoportal.xml, I think this uses the geoportal.xml file properties (username and password defined in there), however when I try to use the Administration feature. That is click on the Administration button, it breaks stating 'A database communication error has occurred'. The logs are filled with invalid username and password, but via sqlplus the geoportal user can login fine.
The server is also running both Oracle client and server, however I don't believe this could be the issue. But if anyone has any debugging techniques or advice, both a welcome, trying to crack this one for a week. Thanks Dan
