Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver problem

Question

Hi all,
I've downloaded the JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 from Microsoft website and I
tried creating connection pool in Weblogic (WL 6.1 SP2).
Following are the configuration from the admin console,
Name - SQL2K
URL - jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433
Driver Classname - com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
ACLName - sa
Password - tonypet
After creating the config, I select to chose the target server from the Servers tab
in Targets main tab in the admin console and when I click on Apply I saw in the WL
server command prompt the following error,
<16/07/2002 11:22:55> <Error> <JDBC> <Cannot startup connection pool "SQL2K" Cannot
load driver class: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver>
I have assigned the classpath env var as follows,
CLASSPATH=;.;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar;c:\bea\wlserver6.1\lib\weblogic.jar
I've tried even copying the .JAR files to the ext and lib directory of bea directory
but I'm getting the same error.
Can anyone help me please.
Thanks a lot for your help
Cheers

Hi. You will also be wanting to add this property for the pool to apply to that driver:
SelectMethod=cursor

Hi all,
After fiddling around I found a solution (hope this will help those who are having
the same problem),
1. Make sure you add the complete directory of the library of the .JAR files in the
classpath in the STARTWEBLOGIC.CMD, I made a mistake of specifying the path in the
CLASSPATH and NOT IN the STARTWEBLOGIC.CMD as the classpath is overriden in the STARTWEBLOGIC.CMD
file.
2. The other thing I found was the configuration setting. I put the full settings
in the URL in admin console as follows,
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;user=nanik;password=tonypet;databasename=scriptbuilder
When I put it individually in the Properties filed it won't work as it is not picking
it up from there but when I moved it to the URL and put it all together it worked
fine.
Whew !!! it's been a looong day, hope the info will help.
