How to use JDBC to connect informix database

Question

Dear all,
I want my client application to connect informix database by using JDBC. The JDBC driver has been installed successfully in the client computer (Win2000). The informix 5.0 resides the a Unix server named "dbserver". The following is my java program.
========================
import java.sql.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Application1 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Connection conn;
try
Class.forName("com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver");
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("Error "+e.getmessage());
e.printStackTrace();
return;
System.out.println("It is ok");
try
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:informix-sqli://dbserver:1526:INFORMIXSERVER=dbserver;username=test;password=******");
catch (SQLException e)
System.out.println("ERROR ."+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
return;
System.out.println("All is fine");
===========================
However, the error appears mentioning "Attempt to connect to database server (dbserver) failed." I don't know what the problem is because my informix database server is exactly "dbserver".
Kindly need help from you guys. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Plz try this (instead of 'username' use 'user') ...
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:informix-sqli://dbserer:1526:INFORMIXSERVER=dbserver;user=test;password=*****");
or this (pass the username and password as params)....
DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:informix-sqli://dbserer:1526:INFORMIXSERVER=dbserver" , "test" , "*****" );
Hope this helps
