Hello,
We're running CF 11 Standard Edition on Linux and need to connect to an Oracle database. We've done this before on CF 9 using Oracle's JDBC drivers (ojdbc5.jar and ojdbc6.jar). I downloaded the newest JDBC drivers from Oracle, but soon discovered that CF would not start with these drivers installed. When I downgraded to the older version installed on our CF 9 instance, CF 11 worked fine and we could connect to Oracle. I am installing the jar files into /opt/coldfusion11/cfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/lib.
These older drivers work fine:
/opt/coldfusion11/jre/bin/java -jar ojdbc5.jar
Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 JDBC 3.0 compiled with JDK5 on Sat_Aug_14_12:16:40_PDT_2010
#Default Connection Properties Resource
#Mon Jul 13 14:14:59 EDT 2015
/opt/coldfusion11/jre/bin/java -jar ojdbc6.jar
Oracle 11.2.0.2.0 JDBC 4.0 compiled with JDK6 on Sat_Aug_14_12:18:34_PDT_2010
#Default Connection Properties Resource
#Mon Jul 13 14:15:04 EDT 2015
These newer drivers do not:
/opt/coldfusion11/jre/bin/java -jar ojdbc5.jar
Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 JDBC 3.0 compiled with JDK5 on Thu_Jul_03_18:16:49_PDT_2014
#Default Connection Properties Resource
#Mon Jul 13 14:15:10 EDT 2015
/opt/coldfusion11/jre/bin/java -jar ojdbc6.jar
Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 JDBC 4.0 compiled with JDK6 on Thu_Jul_03_18:17:32_PDT_2014
#Default Connection Properties Resource
#Mon Jul 13 14:15:13 EDT 2015
Using the newer drivers resulted in CF apparently locking up during startup, with the following errors in the coldfusion-error.log file:

Running coldfusion stop resulted in the following on the console:
Stopping ColdFusion 11 server, please wait
Jul 13, 2015 2:03:12 PM com.adobe.coldfusion.launcher.Launcher stopServer
SEVERE: Shutdown Port 8009is not active. Stop the server only after it is started.
And then it just hung until I hit CTRL-C. There was a single java process running for CF which needed to be killed before I could try starting CF again.
Does anyone know why the newest OJDBC drivers cause such a problem with CF 11?
Thanks!
