Preface

This quick start guide shows how to connect your Java applications to Oracle Autonomous Database using Oracle JDBC driver and Universal Connection Pool. Oracle Autonomous Database allows both one-way TLS as well as mutual TLS (mTLS) for connection, the default being the later. With one-way TLS, also called as TLS, you no longer need either Oracle Wallets or Java KeyStore (JKS) to connect to Oracle Autonomous Database. When you disable the mTLS requirement, connections can be established. The Prerequisites section addresses both of these approaches.

If you want to connect to Oracle Database (On-Premises) or Oracle Cloud Database that uses TCP connections then see QuickStart Java applications with Oracle Database (On-premises).

Audience

This document is intended for developers and architects who use Java to build applications using Oracle Cloud Services, such as Oracle Autonomous Database.
