Hi, I’m trying to create a DB connection to Oracle DB in the gateway using a JDBC URL like this:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@ldap://oraldap.mycompany.it:1234/testdb,cn=OracleContext,dc=mycompany,dc=priv

but it fails saying:

org.apache.commons.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory (Invalid LDAP URL specified)  
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid LDAP URL specified  
Caused by: oracle.net.ns.NetException: Invalid LDAP URL specified

Any help is welcome.
