Not able to connect to Oracle Database using Docker Container

I am deploying my application into a Docker container, on Webspehre liberty server as an EAR file.

However, when the application is running, it cannot connect to the Oracle Database which is running on another host where we are trying to connect through jndi lookup defined in server.xml of Websphere liberty.


<properties.oracle URL=“jdbc:oracle:thin:@//xyz.mycomany.com:1521/prexyz” username=“" password="” />

We are able to ping the server from inside the container and getting response but at run time, it is not able to establish the db connection.

Note:- Oracle DB is not containerized. We are simply trying to establish the connection through jndi lookup as mentioned above.

Below is the error message. Could anyone help on how to connect Database in this scenario?Thanks in advance !!

Forgot to share the datasource details used in server.xml.

dataSource id=“oracle” jndiName=“jdbc/QADBApp” type=“javax.sql.Datasource”>
jdbcDriver libraryRef=“OracleJDBCLib”/>
properties.oracle URL=“jdbc:oracle:thin:@//xyz.mycomany.com:1521/prexyz” username=“" password="” />
/dataSource>

That doesn’t look like a database connectivity error to me.
