Re: Trying to connect to an Oracle db through Java, but I got this message??

ORA-12514 means that a Net8 client was unable to create a connection to
a database. Net8 clients try to create connection with basis on the
tnsnames.ora file's content. Have you checked this file? Are you able
to establish a db connection using any other tool - like Oracle
SQL*Plus?
