This is the root cause of your issue.
The apex pool in ORDS corresponds to the database APEX_PUBLIC_USER and it is not correctly configured.
Connect to the SQL Plus prompt with SYS user and SYSDBA privileges and run the following query:
// select username
, account_status
, profile
from dba_users
where username in ('APEX_PUBLIC_USER','APEX_LISTENER','APEX_REST_PUBLIC_USER');
If the account status is LOCKED, EXPIRED, etc then unlock the user accounts for example:
// ALTER USER APEX_PUBLIC_USER IDENTIFIED BY <password> ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
Discard/delete the current ORDS configuration and re-configure ords.war/apex.war with correct passwords for the users. Re-deploy it to Glassfish Server.
