Driver for SQL server with wlserver can't start at all and "no suitable driver" and

Question

Hi all,
After I download the jDriver for Ms sql 2000 server, I set the classpath as document
told, I test it using the utils.dbping it works fine. But when I try to use it
with the weblogic server 6.1 I have the problem as following:
I included the jDriver classes in the classpath of the startWeblogic.cmd as
set CLASSPATH=.;.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;.\lib\weblogic.jar;C:\weblogic\mssqlserver4v70\classes
saved the startWeblogic.cmd file Then I start the wls with startWeblogic.cmd(the
new classpath). It starts fine Then I setup the connection sql pool using the
weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver It says "No suitable driver"
I found that in the weblogic.jar(shipped with the weblogic 6.1) and in the jDriver
classes, there are two files which have the same name is weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver.
Because in the classpath .\lib\weblogic.jar comes first so weblogic server takes
weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver of the weblogic.jar rather than in the jDriver
classes directory. So I thought the matter of changing the order in the classpath
(.\lib\weblogic_sp.jar;C:\weblogic\mssqlserver4v70\classes;.\lib\weblogic.jar")
will solve the problem, but when I changed the oder in the classpath the weblogic
server did not start AT ALL with the following errror.

I wonder how can I use the jDriver with weblogic server?
Do you have any idea what I have done wrong or how to get around with this problem?
Please help
Thanks in advance

Hi Joe, Thanks for your fast reply.No problem. They pay me to be hear on weekdays ;-)
So what you tell me the driver for MSSQL 2000 is in the weblogic.jaris that
correct.yes.
And my connection pool definition:
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver"
MaxCapacity="5" Name="mySQLPool"
Properties="user=sa;db=ejb20;hostname=XXX;password=realpassword;appname=ejb20Phone;server=ivm_server:1433"
Targets="" URL="jdbc:weblogic:mySqlPool"/>I see the problem. The URL is broken. It should be the URL that the particular
driver wants, eg:
jdbc:weblogic:mssqlserver4:ivm_server
Then set the pool's Properties to have the user, password, appname, and
db. (no server needed, it's in the URL, and 1433
is default)
thanks,
Joe
I have the port as doc suggest 1433 but it would not help me.
Please help
Thanks Joe

Hi. Our ms driver is already in the plain 6.1 jar file, so there is
no
need for the additional
driver download or classes in the server path. Dbping should workwith
just the server
weblogic.jar etc in your classpath. What is the error you got originally
trying to use
the MS driver with/in weblogic? Show me your pool definition. That's
probably where the
problem will be...
