Initialization error: Loading jdbc driver

Hi ,
In a file-XI-JDBC scenario, i am getting this error. "Initialization error: Loading jdbc driver 'com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver' failed: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver".
but i have installed/deployed third party SQL driver on J2ee server thru SDM.
Can any one sort out this problem.

Sridhar

Hi,
try looking into the log viewer in Vsual Administrator. Usually you can find more information about the problem there.
Also try redeploying the driver again.
cheers,
naveen

  • Error loading JDBC driver

    Hi,
    I have an rpt file developed in crystal report 2008. it connects to SQL Server using ODBC(RDO) connection. I have a jsp file that needs to change the datasource to use JDBC (JNDI). The scriptlet for changing datasource is given below. I have my sqljdbc.jar in the web-inf\lib folder of my application as well as in \server\{server_name}\lib folder. when I try to run the jsp it gives me error as follows :
    ERROR [com.businessobjects.reports.sdk.JRCCommunicationAdapter]  detected an exception: Error loading JDBC driver.  The class 'com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver' could not be found.

    I am not sure why it is not able to get the Driver since the required jar is there in lib folder? Am I missing something ?
    Edited by: sb-onward on Jul 30, 2009 6:01 PM

    Hi,
    Make sure you have set the Classpath in CRConfig.xml for the jdbc jar.
    Place the CrConfig.xml  in the classes directory of your application.
    Please let me know the results.

  • Sun IDM Repositor Configuration Error: Failed to load JDBC Driver

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new to Java IDM and predictably failed in my first attempt to install Java IDM in a Windows machine with SQL Server 2000 SP3.
    I followed the Installation document step by step and I think I din' t miss any!!.. But still I got caught by an error, here it is:
    I successfully installed IDM but failed while configuring Repository. I have downloaded the JDBC driver from Microsoft for SQL Server 2000, SP3. Then after that I copied the Jar from JDBC driver folder to
    %WSHOME%/bin/lib folder. After this I launched the Repository configuration setup.
    I got the following error while trying to connect the waveset database with Repository type as SQL Server (JDBC Driver)
    com.waveset.util.ConfigurationError: Failed to load JDBC Driver 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver':
    ==> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    The Parameters that I have given for connection are:
    URL: jdbc:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=waveset
    JDBC Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Connect as User: waveset
    Connect Password: waveset
    I have created the database and granted all access to user waveset.
    Please help me come out of this. I tried dropping and recreating the database with a different name. Still it did not work, looks like it is a JDBC driver specific issue. Please guide me if I did anything wrong.
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks

    Open your driver jar using winzip or something and check if the class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver is present in the jar. I think you need to use a different class name. or your jar file is wrong. I think there are separate jars for SQL server 2000 and for SQL Server 2005.

  • Beginner Has Problem With Loading JDBC Driver Using MySQL

    Hi, I am having problem with loading JDBC driver, and need your diagnotic help.
    1. I have installed MySQL (C:\mysql), created a databse (soup), and created a littel table (VIDEOS). I am able to see the table in the console:
    sql> select * from videos
    2. I have downloaded the latest version of Connector/J (mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha.zip), and unzip the zip file into my C:\ directory.
    3. I copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha-bin.jar to the C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\jre\lib\ext folder and it is in my CLASSPATH
    4. MySQL server is running
    C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --standalone
    5. open another DOS window and use the database
    mysql>USE SOUP
    6. succesfully compiled a Java program (javac Test.java):
    import java.sql.* ;
    public class Test
    public static void main( String[] args )
    try
    Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
    try
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/soup" );
    try
    Statement statement = con.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT TITLE FROM VIDEOS");
    while ( rs.next() )
    System.out.println( rs.getString( "TITLE" ) );
    rs.close();
    statement.close();
    catch ( SQLException e )
    System.out.println( "JDBC error: " + e );
    finally
    con.close();
    catch( SQLException e )
    System.out.println( "could not get JDBC connection: " + e );
    catch( Exception e )
    System.out.println( "could not load JDBC driver: " + e );
    7. when I run the Java program (java Test), I got
    the message:
    could not load JDBC driver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
    What am I missing?

    Hi,
    I missed to specify test in my last post.
    Try running your program by explicitly setting the classspath when
    running your program . java -classpath c:\mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha-bin.jar test
    Make sure your jar file contains org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver class

    Post the part of your code that loads the driver and connects. My guess is you are using a variable for the name of the driver and the variable has not been set to anything(intially set to null).

  • Java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver

    THis topic has been discussed many many times but I still not able to connect to Oracle 8i from my servlet using Tomcat 4.1.12 on hp-ux and java1.3

    doPost(..)
    the error occured at :
    synchronized (dataSource){
    con = dataSource.getConnection();}
    Thanks in advance!

    Everything looks correct to me, except for one thing.
    In your web.xml you have this:
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/ora</res-ref-name> In your server.xml, you have this tag, which matches your web.xml:
    <ResourceParams name="jdbc/ora" > But in your Java code, you've got this:
    dataSource = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/acdb"); When I've successfully set up a Web app data source, all three names had to agree. You either need to change your Java lookup name to "jdbc/ora" or change the web.xml and server.xml to "jdbc/acdb".
    See if that does it. Everything else sounds correct to me. - MOD

  • Can't load jdbc driver in servlet

    Dear All,
    I have tried to connect to MS SQL SERVER 2000 through JDBC DRIVER FOR
    SQLSERVER. However I receieved an error: can't load jdbc driver class:
    null.
    The following steps were what I did:
    1.Set up SQL Server and create a few tables and users.
    2.Config Server.xml
    Add the following codes in /tomcat/conf/Server.xml
    <Context path="/persistence" docBase="persistence" debug="0"
    reloadable="true">
              <Resource name="jdbc/persistenceDB" auth="Container"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>

                   </Parameter>
              </ResourceParams>               
    </Context>
    3.Config my web application's web.xml
    Added the following piece of code in WEB.XML
    <resource-ref>
    <res-ref-name>jdbc/persistenceDB</res-ref-name>
    <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
    <res-auth>Container</res-auth>

    4.Use Datasource in my code
    package persistence.database;
    import java.sql.*;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import javax.sql.DataSource;
    import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
    import persistence.*;
    import com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.*;
    import javax.naming.Context;
    public class DatabaseAuthenticator implements Authenticator {

    try {
    if (ds != null) {System.out.println("Success to get
    datasource");
            } else {System.out.println("Failed");}
    System.out.println(ds.toString());
    try
    conn = ds.getConnection();     
    catch (Exception e)
    e.printStackTrace();
    pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT user_id " + .........
    5. put msutil.jar, mssqlserver.jar and msbase.jar under /tomcat/common/lib/.
    When I tried to run the program, I receieved an error: can't load jdbc
    driver class: null.
    I've got no idea what's going on.
    Any Suggestion?
    Thanks in advance
    Kitty

    Hi Kitty,
    The connection you're trying to set up points to nothing :
    Connection conn = null;
    So, you receive a complaint that that driver cannot be loaded. Please read
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
    download the right database driver and use that. Good luck!
    Wouter van Reeven
    public User authenticate(String username, String
    g password)
    throws AuthenticationException, UnknownException
    ption {
    Connection conn = null;

  • New e-Sourcing 5.0 Install - Error checking JDBC Driver version

    Hi  All,
    I am currently attempting to install an e-Sourcing 5.0 Patch Level E instance on a Windows system using Oracle 10.2.0.3 and WebLogic 8.1 SP4.  e-Sourcing's installation and configuration complete without issue.  The schema in the database is loaded with the e-Sourcing tables and data.
    However, when attempting to deploy the ear file via WebLogic, I receive the following JDBC error:
    Error checking JDBC Driver version. Detail: Error: found unsupported JDBC Driver name: Oracle JDBC driver version: 10.1.0.2.0.
    The JDBC driver in use is from  my Oracle install ..\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14.jar
    I've also tried classes12.jar for versions 9.2.0.8, 10.1.0.2, and 10.2.0.1 but always receive the same error (...driver version: 10.1.0.2.0...) message regardless of the version of driver I am using.
    Error Log:
    *** Starting Frictionless SRM (5.0.00 E build 08-Apr-2008.16:46) 2009-10-14 20:33:40.656 local3  DEBUG   class=ConfigDatabase;server=CAGTAW804886;method=loadFromServletContext();thread=ExecuteThread: '4' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.System'  Cached weblogic.httpd.servlet.reloadCheckSecs=-1 from servlet context

    Given that the database is loaded with the tables and data I know my instance can connect to the DB.  Does anyone know why the deployment would complain that the JDBC driver is incorrect?  Is there a way to disable the check and complete the server startup?  Is there only a single specific driver that is acceptable for this e-Sourcing version?
    Thanks,
    Greg
    Edited by: Greg Stewart on Oct 15, 2009 3:20 PM

    The issue is still occurring.
    The Supported Platform documentation indicates that the Oracle JDBC thin driver 10.2.0.1.0 is the supported driver.  I have tried both the Classes12.jar and ojdbc14.jar for this version of driver.
    What is odd about this error is that it always displays the same message and version #, no matter what version of driver I use.
    "found unsupported JDBC Driver name: Oracle JDBC driver version: 10.1.0.2.0"  (I execute setup and configuration each time I use a different driver to ensure the ear file is updated)
    I have also tried using a different Driver Class path.  The installation guides for 5.0 and 5.1 indicate Driver Class as oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.  I have also tried oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver for a few of the versions with no success.  I still receive the same error at the same point.
    If anyone has run into a similar situation any suggestions or tips to resolving the issue would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'

    Hi,
    At the moment I'm trying to get an example working. The error message I get is:
    Unable to get connection, DataSource invalid: "org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'"
    The example I tried is http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html.
    Configuration:
    Wampserver 2.0 (Apache, MySQL, PHP for Windows XP), Tomcat 6.0 and jdk1.6.0_03.
    The following files are installed in %CATALINA_HOME%/webabbs/
    - Dbtest/test.jsp
    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/web.xml
    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar
    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/tomcat-dbcp.jar
    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar
    Tia,
    Abel.

    Hi,
    I added the jar file containing the requested class to my lib directory. So the current contents of that directory is:
    The following files are installed in %CATALINA_HOME%/webabbs/
    - Dbtest/test.jsp
    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/web.xml

    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar
    - Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar
    More importantly, I started my Wamp server.
    The example works as it should have. Thanks for the feedback.

  • Problem loading jdbc driver in Tomcat

    Hi,
    I have got a connection to MySQL5.0 from TomCat 5.5.13, that was test correctly in development (JSC Upd 1) but I encounter the following deployment error :
    com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.ApplicationException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
    When I verify, I found that if I put the mysql Connector JDBC driver in <tomcat>/common/lib, there is no error.
    But when the MySql Connector JDBC driver resides in <tomcat>/shared/lib, the error persists.
    What's the difference ? shouldn't it work for both ?
    Thanks in advance for any pointers and advise.

    hmm... i guess that it's a must to include the lib at /common/lib instead of shared/lib .
    Is there a Tomcat resource that I can read up on ?
    rgds
