Hi,
I need to access from an JSP application in a Linux server to a
Microsoft Access database (only read) that is in another Windows server
(only accepts users in its domain, that are different from Linux server
users)
I have configured Samba so that I can access to the database file. When
I access through the folder navigator of Linux it requests me user,
domain and password and access without problems.
I do not know, how to access from a Java/JSP application, it's possible
to do it? what driver I must use? it is necessary to configure Samaba
to have permission some user in particular (tomcat, apache...)
Thanks!

I have never tried it, but AFAIK, you would need ODBC drivers on linux,
as that is the origin of your JVM. MS Access is not a database server,
so you would have to access it either on the host on which it resides,
or through a mapped drive (such as Samba)...but either way, you would
need ODBC drivers.
DataDirect provides these for *nix, but they are $$$.
