Change JDBC url to below and make sure all connection string parameters are correct.

jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DB_HOST_NAME)(PORT=1521))(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=DBSERVICENAME)))

Change the DB_HOST_NAME to the database hostname or Ip address and change the DBSERVICENAME to the original database service name. This information can be found from the tnsnames.ora file in Oracle RAC database. An example TNS entry is given below for reference.

SERVICE.WORLD =

(DESCRIPTION =

(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = simplerac.copss.com)(PORT = 1521))

(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVER = DEDICATED)

(SERVICE_NAME = SERVICE.WORLD)

)
