Java Forum / Databases / December 2004JDBC Connection and ClassNotFoundException
I have installed Websphere Studio Application Developer v5.1.2 and DB2 version 8.1.3 on my machine. I have a written a java class that tries to connect to a local DB2 database, I have used : Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver"), and I get a ClassNotFoundException. From browsing various groups this seems to be a common problem. I have checked my classpath (using Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Classpath variables), and the DB2_DRIVER_PATH is set to g:\program files\ibm\sqllib\java\db2java.zip. I have checked and the zip file is in this directory. As a test, I have also created a connection in the Data Perspective and am able to successfully connect to my local database and this uses the same JDBC driver class as I'm trying to use in my class ! This seems to indicate I've installed everything I need. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong ? How can I get my java class to access the jdbc driver class ? Dunno what your problem might be. Have you tried using "JTOpen"? This toolbox contains a type 3 driver that I have successfully used in connecting to the iSeries. http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jt400/ >I have installed Websphere Studio Application Developer v5.1.2 and DB2 > version 8.1.3 on my machine.

Hi, this driver won't work, DB2 8.1.3 is not as400! Dieter > Dunno what your problem might be. Have you tried using "JTOpen"?
