Jython : SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Question

am getting a syntax error in my code. Can anyone say what's wrong in the syntax? I am new to this language, don't have much of an idea.

Error Message:

WASX7017E: Exception received while running file "jdbcconnection.jy"; exception information: com.ibm.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython: Traceback (innermost last): (no code object) at line 0 File "", line 13 AdminTask.createJDBCProvider('[-scope Node='+nodeName+',Server='+serverName' -databaseType Oracle -providerType "Oracle JDBC Driver" -implementationType "Connection pool data source" - name "Oracle JDBC Driver" -description "Oracle JDBC Driver" -classpath [${ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/ojdbc6.jar] -nativePath "" ]') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

My code:

import sys

def jdbcoracle(nodeName,serverName):
        print 'Create JDBC provider'
    AdminTask.createJDBCProvider('[-scope Node='+nodeName+',Server='+serverName' -databaseType Oracle -providerType "Oracle JDBC Driver" -implementationType "Connection pool data source" -name "Oracle JDBC Driver" -description "Oracle JDBC Driver" -classpath [${ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/ojdbc6.jar] -nativePath "" ]')
    AdminTask.createJDBCProvider('[-scope Node='+nodeName+',Server='+serverName' -databaseType Oracle -providerType "Oracle JDBC Driver" -implementationType "XA data source" -name "Oracle JDBC Driver (XA)" -description "Oracle JDBC Driver (XA)" -classpath [${ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/ojdbc6.jar] -nativePath "" ]')
        AdminConfig.save()  
    print 'JDBC provider created'

nodeName = sys.argv[0]

jdbcoracle(nodeName,serverName)

Is your indentation correct or it's just incorrect formatting? — user671150

Your syntax would be invalid in any language. You have '...Server='+serverName' ...' - you are missing a + before the reopening of the quote.

Of course, you should not be building up strings like that; you should be using one of the many string formatting features available in Python, for example:

'[-scope Node={},Server={} -databaseType...'.format(nodeName, serverName)

I suspect you also mean ORACLE_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH to be an interpolated variable, but only you know where that is supposed to be coming from.

Can you please type the syntax for the my case. I am nw in python scripting

I just did. And as I said, the syntax would be just as invalid in Java as it is in Python.
