JDBC - msbase.jar\Msutil.jar\Mssqlserver.jar

Hi
i get the error :
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: /microsoft/jdbc/sqlserver/SQLServerDriver
because i dont have the msbase.jar\Msutil.jar\Mssqlserver.jar files. can someone please tell me where i can get these files. i need to add them to the classpath but i dont have them.
Cheers

Put the jar into the jdk\jre\lib\ext (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\ext) and jre\lib\ext (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\lib\ext) directories and try again. Then you don't need to set the classpath.

Location of SQL Server JDBC Driver jar files

Hi All,
I have a java applet connecting to SQL Server 2000 through MS SQL Server 2000 jdbc driver. It works fine on all client machines only if I copy the three jar files of the driver (msbase.jar....) into ext folder of java. If not, I get an error message saying error establishing socket. Why is it necessary to copy these 3 files on to client machines when all the other jar files can be easily accessed from the server?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Manish

Is changing the name of Oracle JDBC Driver JAR legally valid?

Hi,
I understand that it is legally fine to bundle Oracle JDBC driver JAR along with the applications. However, is it also legally OK to change that JAR name and then bundle it with the applications? Information on any legal implications which may need to be addressed is highly appreciated. I read through the licensing information and following is some excerpt:
You may not:
+<...>+
- remove or modify any program markings or any notice of our proprietary rights;*
I'm thinking if changing the JAR name either removes or modifies any program markings...
Thanks in advance...
============================================================================
Original post said "is it also legally OK to change that JAR"; now it is edited as "is it also legally OK to change that JAR *name*"

Information on any legal implications which may need to be addressed is highly appreciated. 1. A real answer can only come from a lawyer.
2. I suspect the agreement allows you to rejar the classes. Which allow you to put it in any jar that you want.
As with the other poster I don't see the point either.

Separating native JDBC driver JAR from applet JAR - best way?

Since I want to allow the customers/users of my applet to choose their own native JDBC driver to purchase at their site, I don't bundle the JDBC driver into my applet's JAR file. During my testing, here's what I've done:
1. Deployed my applet HTML and JAR files to a web server folder.
2. Extracted my JDBC driver JAR file's contents to that same web server folder.
(My applet HTML contains 2 parameters that allow the applet to use the JDBC driver -- class name and connection string template.)
This works fine, but I'm wondering if I'm using the best techniques.
Questions:
1. Do the contents of the JDBC driver need to be extracted from its JAR file? If not, what do I do, if anything, to allow my applet to "see/find" the driver class within the JAR?
2. If the JDBC JAR file DOES need to have its contents extracted, is there a way to extract them to a central folder somewhere on the web server and have a variety of applets use them? If so, what do I need to do to make my applet "see/find" the file(s) in the central folder?
Possibly looking for this stucture on the web server:
/WebApps/JDBCfiles
/WebApps/MyDbApplet1
/WebApps/MyDbApplet2
/WebApps/MyDbApplet3
Any advice/recommendations? Thanks.

Is it possible for a client application to access a jarred JDBC driver? I'd like to deliver a JDBC driver packed in a jar file, however, it won't work, here is what I am tring to do
try {
Class.forName("mfg.jdbc.myDriver").newInstance(); //--> throw an exception
m_Connection = DriverManager.getConnection(szURL, props);
catch(Exception e) {/...}
Before class myDriver and other classes from package mfg.jdbc were jarred, a client application used to get the connection just fine, now I get an exception "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: mfg.jdbc.myDriver"
I am using Java 2 Platform, no problem in running a jarred command like java -jar jarredclass.jar
Any tips and hints would be gratfully received!

Tomcat7 + JDBC driver jar

Context:
According to the installation guide for bonitasoft (http://documentation.bonitasoft.com/dat … add_driver)
Tomcat 7
For Tomcat, simply add the JDBC driver jar file in the appropriate folder:
Bonita BPM Tomcat bundle: in the bundle folder add the driver to the lib/bonita folder.
Bonita BPM deploy bundle: in the Tomcat folder add the driver to the lib folder.
Ubuntu/Debian package: add the driver to /usr/share/tomcat7/lib.
Windows as a service: add the driver to C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 7.0\lib
Problem:
Which JDBC driver is meant ? I searched the web for an tomcat JDBC jar file for tomcat7 ?
This confused me further, I tought archlinux is analog to ubuntu and read the section platform installation example for (Ubuntu + OpenJDK + Tomcat + MySQL):
Add JDBC driver
You need to include JDBC driver in Tomcat classpath:
Change to Tomcat libraries directory: cd /usr/share/tomcat7/lib.
Download the library mysql-connector-java from the MySQL site to this directory.
But the mysql site (recommended by the installation guide) provides a download link for an tar.gz file and on google.code (https://code.google.com/p/find-ur-pal/d … 8-bin.jar&) I found .jar file. The installation guide clearly speaks about an .jar file. There are different version of the JDBC jar file on the web. Which one is right ?

Do you intend on continuing to spam the boards with this issue? Read the Etiquette and the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tomcat_and_Apache

How to add a JDBC driver jar to ESB project?

I am developing an EJB project in JDeveloper 10.1.3.1. I am trying to connect MS SQL Server DB to the ESB. I set up the JDeveloper so it can connect to the MS SQL Server, list the tables&data. I put a DB Adapter using the existing connection to the diagram. When I deploy it to the Oracle AS I am getting oracle.toplink.exceptions.DatabaseException saying that the driver com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver was not found. How do I package the JAR to the project so it gets uploaded to the server with the project files? If it is not possible, where should I put the jar so the server can use it?

To get this working copy the jdbc jar file to the following directory
%SOA_HOME%\j2ee\home\applib (basic)
%SOA_HOME%\j2ee\oc4j_soa\applib (advanced)
If you don't configure your datasources and JNDI names then it will use the connect string from your project. It is always best practice to use the application server connections
cheers

Problems with jdbc and .jar files.

I am having a problem with connecting to my database when running my .jar file as an executable.
It connects correctly when I use the java command in command prompt and it also runs correctly when using my IDE.
Is there something that needs to be added to the manifest or in the code it self inorder for the program to find the JDBC driver correctly?

This is the error message that I get:

Connecting to JDBC with jar

I have downloaded the MySQL JDBC from their site and have a jar file. It is called
mysql-connector-java-3.1.13- bin.jar
I would like to have my NetBeans IDE 4.1 recognize this so I can write java code. It does not recognize the class currently.
I tried adding it to the IDE path
going to the web project, right click for properties.
Choose libraries
Choose the tab that says "compile tests"
Then, I click "add jar/folder" and browse to the jar file
Then choose the tab that says "run tests"
Then I click "add jar/folder" and browse to the jar file
Now I would assume this would be added to my class path for startup
but it doesnt work
Any ideas

I do have the database linked in to my "Databases" with a driver listed under this list. Which is why I do not comprehend why my jsp code can not find the driver itself.

Something wrong with jar?

Hi,
I have the following problem when I want to execute my Jar file.
The command I use is:
java -cp . -jar Drain.jar
the error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Drain
My jar file contains 3 classes (1 public i.e. Drain.class) Drain.class has the main method. If I dont pack the files into a jar and just submit the command:
java Drain (CLASSPATH omitted)
Everything is cool the app works!
I create the jar file with the following contents in the manifest file
Main-Class: Drain

with the command:

The jar is created but on execution it raises the NoClassDefFound error.
Any suggestions?

Accessing SQL Server jar for EP6 SP19/EP7 SP11

I have application that accesses SQL Server and used to run in old portals (SP under 13) but doesn't run under new portals.

P9base.jar, P9sqlserver.jar, P9util.jar
I get "[SAP_Portals][SQLServer JDBC Driver]This driver is locked for use with embedded applications".
What jar/driver do I need to use in order to run applications that access SQL server in the new portals.
p.s
I don't want to define connection in VA. I want to use DIRECT connection.
Thanks,

Cant make an exeble jar of a package !

HI,
I have made an application declaring a package 'mypack'. My directory structure is :
e:
--mypack
----msbase.jar
----mssqlserver.jar
----msutil.jar
----Main.java
----*.java
----*.class
I set my classpath as :
SET CLASSPATH=".;E:\mypack\msbase.jar;E:\mypack\mssqlserver.jar;E:\mypack\msutil.jar;E:\;"
My package name is 'mypack'. I include the line 'package mypack' on top of every source files. I compiled all the source files successfully. And also succeeded to run the application by "java mypack.Main" from anywhere( my main class is Main.java ).
But i failed to build an executable jar file for this application.
My manifest file contains :
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Main
Created-By: 1.2 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
And i did from the command prompt as follows:
e:\mypack>jar cvfm App.jar mymanifest.mf *
It builds the jar file but when i click it, it says "Could not find the main class. Program will exit !"
I also tried with "Main-Class: mypack.Main" in mymanifest.mf but it also didn work.
If I dont make the package 'mypack', then i get no error. App.jar can be executed. Then whats wrong with my package ?

I also tried with "Main-Class: mypack.Main" in mymanifest.mf
but it also didn work.That is the way it should work; the value for Main-Class should be the fully qualified class name which includes the name of the package.
Which error message do you get in this case, "could not find the main class?" If so, the jar file probably doesn't contain the class file in the right place: jar files have an internal directory structure and a class can't be found if it's in the wrong directory. The directory structure should be the same as the package structure of the source code.
This internal directory structure is defined by the command you use to create the jar file; if the command you posted works when you don't use the "package" declaration this should work now:
e:\>jar cvfm App.jar mymanifest.mf mypack/*
You can "peek" inside a jar file and check the directory structure with any file compression program (like winzip) or by using the "t" switch with the jar tool:
e:\>jar tf App.jar
