JavaFX Composer and jdbc datasource

Question

I'm trying to build a javafx application that is basically a CRUD interface for a Microsoft SQLServer DB. I can drag and drop the jdbc datasource into my scene, and I can execute the select query against the table. I have copied over the jar file containing the sqlserver driver (using the Project->Properties dialog). When I try to run the project, I get an error message that no suitable driver is found for the connection string that is being used.
The connection string for the sqlserver driver is: jdbc:sqlserver://DEVSQL-SERVER:1433;databaseName=User;
Does anyone know if it's not currently possible to use datasources other than the built-in derby db?
Seems like you should be able to use any datasource if you have the required jar file for the drivers.
TIA,
Kevin

Answer 1

Hi,
The JDBCDataSource is using JDBC API but it does not register/initialize any particular driver.
Therefore you should have the following line of code added at the beginning (right after the package statements) of the Main_run.fx file:
Class.forName ("jdbc.Driver");
where jdbc.Driver is a fully-qualified class name of your JDBC driver.
