Try this code:

OracleDataSource ods = new OracleDataSource();    
ods.setUser(DB_USER));    
ods.setPassword(DB_PASSWORD);    
ods.setURL(jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(HOST=myhost)(PORT=1521)(PROTOCOL=tcp))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=myorcldbservicename))));    
// New AutoClosable syntax applicable to connection. This syntax will    
// close the connection automatically    
try (OracleConnection connection = (OracleConnection) (ods.getConnection())) {      
 // Statement and ResultSet are AutoClosable by this syntax   
 try (Statement statement = connection.createStatement()) {      
    try (ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("select sysdate from dual")) {        
      while (resultSet.next())          
           System.out.print("Today's Date is: " + resultSet.getString(1));

    }   
  }
}
