MS access,servlets and jdbc-odbc

when i try to connect to ms access database using servlet i get unable to open registry key DriverId problem.
servlet successfully extracts the form data.Even jdbc code alone works fine, but when jdbc code is embeded in servlet I get the above error.I am using java web server 2.0 and a jdbc-odbc(type 1) driver.
Please help me.................!
I cannot proceed with my project without solving this problem.

You have not specified the exception class.
If it is java.security, try peeping into jws security directory, and set the access to your servlet directory.
I do not know this helped you or not.

J2EE and JDBC-ODBC bridge driver

Hi all,
in my application I want to access an ODBC database to get the data and put it into cloudscape. In my resources.properties I added the jdbc driver
jdbcDriver.1.name=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriverand also added a datasource
jdbcDataSource.5.name=jdbc/MyOdbc
jdbcDataSource.5.url=jdbc\:odbc\:odbc-nameAfter starting j2ee 1.3.1 the server reports following error:
Error in creating data source object: jdbc/MyOdbcWhat's going wrong? Thanks for your help.
-chris

additional information:
The phenomenon happens only if I use J2SDK 1.4.0. Running the 1.3.1 the driver is loaded without any problems.
Is it a security issue or am I not allowed to use 1.4 because it's too new?

Im really stuck!!! any suggestions? thanks in advance

Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
of code,
Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
or something I dont have but I checked my database and
I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
be something wrong with how I've entered the database
in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
Many thanks
RobI think you've misunderstood me. This has nothing to do with unusually large data entries, but rather the opposite. You are wrongly expecting data that is shorter than you think. When you call rs.getString(i) to retrieve a column value of a field, and you only want the first 5 characters in the column (instead of 10 or whatever the column size is), you would do something similar to the following:
String column_value = rs.getString(1).subtstring(0,5);The above expects a String that is at least 5 characters. Your problem is when your column value returned is less than the specified substring index ( in this case 5 ) it will throw an exception. If you changed your code to this, the error will not occur:
String column_value = rs.getString( 1 ).subtstring( 0, 5);
if ( column_value.length() > 5 )
column_value = column_value.substring( 0, 5 );

Applets and JDBC-ODBC Bridge

I have the following error when i try to run my program(I have used JFrame instead of JApplet ) :
[Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid cursor state
I'm using VJ# and i read on oreilly's site that JDBC-ODBC bridge doesn't work with it, so how should i resolve the problem?
could somebody suggest a better and easy-to-use Type 1 driver(which is free)

Closing the statements defeats the purpose of prepared statements with my design. The whole point is to load them at startup and reuse them.
Another driver is an option however where does one get one and are they free?
I have implemented a temporary solution that I found in the archives. I have used a while statement to make sure that I have got to the end of the result set, however a nested if only looks for the first result. I am only retrieving one row from the database so only need the first. Logic says to me that rs.next() must have to evaluate to false. It is a bit messy but it works . . . so far.

Com.mysql.jdbc.driver and jdbc:odbc bridge driver

Hi All,
I want to update mysql database from data in hashtable. My application already uses JDBC:OBDC bridge driver for retrieving data from excel sheet and putting in hashtable.
For connecting to mysql i need to use com.mysql.jdbc.driver too in the same code.
How to do that?
my code uses.
Read(String strFilePath,String strFileName)
           filepath = strFilePath;
           filename = strFileName;
            strDriver= "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Excel Driver (*.xls)}";Thanks

Problem with Stored Procedure and inout parameter and jdbc-odbc bridge

create or replace procedure test_proc( para in out number) as

Hello,
I presume you have created the stored procedure with an INOUT parameter?

Servlets and JDBC - Best Way to Create Connections?

Hi,
I have a very simple servlet that executes a query and returns the result for a true/false test.
The connection is created when the servlet is initialized:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
dbConnection(); //Creates datasource and connection objects
super.init(config);
The connection object is used in the doGet() method. This works fine except after periods of extended inactivity (24 - 48 hours) when the connection is dropped for some reason (network related I believe).
My question is, can I (should I) create and close the connection in the doGet() method? Or am I asking for trouble if I get a large number of concurrent requests?
If I shouldn't create and close the connection in the doGet() method, how can I ensure a connection is available when the doGet() method is called?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Jim

you write a class something like this :
class myLogic {
private static DataSource ds ;
static {
if(ds==null)
ds = Look up from the context root (jdbc/dsMy);
public boolean checkExists() throws Exception{
Connection con = ds.getConnection();
// put your logic here
con.close();
And you call that class from the doGet() of servlet

Servlets and JDBC

I am new to the JDBC API, but I am trying to create a connection to Oracle 11i through JDBC in a Servlet's init() methid. The problem is that I don't seem to be entering my init() method. I get a NullPointerException when I attempt to reference the Connection object that is instatiated in the init() method. Here is my init() method:
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
try {
//Loads the Oracle JDBC Driver
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
//Connect to the DataBase
con = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@63.121.58.32:1526:POAPN003",
"xxrot", "xxrot");
} catch(ClassNotFoundException e){}
catch(SQLException e) {}
If there is anything that you can see that I need to do to get the Connection created correctly, I would really appreciate the help. I have created the Connection con as an instance variable.

I think that the main problem that I am having though is that the init() method isn't throwing the exceptions. When I try to create a Statement object in order to create some SQL, that is when I get the NullPointerException. Here is the code that I found thru debugging that gave me the exception.
try {Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
//if(v_Customer_no != null)
       //   rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT *");
    // else
         // rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM ROT_PRODUCT where Customer_ID="+ v_customer_id +
                                    // "AND Inventory_Item_ID="+ v_product_id);
         }catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("Here is the first error"); }
Since I commented out all of the code in this try block, I found that the exception had to be when I was creating the Statement from the Connection object. That is why I thought that the error may have occurred in the init() method where the Connection is first dealt with. Any other thoughts then? Thanks for the help.

Powershell to create link between Access database and an ODBC Pervasive database

So, I have the following script (thanks to JRV!):
function Link-ExternalODBCTable{
      Param(
         $accessFile,
         $tableName,
         $tableName2
     if(-not $tableName2){$tableName2=$tableName1}
     $access.DoCmd.TransferDatabase(
             [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcDataTransferType]::acLink,
            'ODBC Database',
            $accessFile,
            [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcObjectType]::acTable,
             $tableName,
             $tableName2
$testODBC='ODBC;DSN=A1013v2012'
Add-Type -Assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access
$access = New-Object -ComObject Access.Application
$Access.OpenCurrentDataBase("E:\MyDir\TagLink.mdb")
Link-ExternalODBCTable $testODBC all_per
$access.CloseCurrentDataBase()
What I get is:
Exception calling "TransferDatabase" with "6" argument(s): "ODBC--connection to 'A1013v2012' failed."
When I try from the ODBC Administrator, it tests fine (Connection Successful!). This is a 32-bit ODBC connection, using the Pervasive ODBC Engine Interface. Same as we use for other ODBC connections to this database. It is a System DSN, as opposed to User
or File.
I tried to skinny this down to:
Add-Type -Assembly Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access
$Access = New-Object -ComObject Access.Application
$Connected = $Access.OpenCurrentDataBase("E:\MyDir\TagLink.mdb")
$access.DoCmd.TransferDatabase(
             [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcDataTransferType]::acLink,
            'ODBC Database',
            'ODBC;DSN=A1013v2012',
            [microsoft.office.interop.access.AcObjectType]::acTable,
             'all_per',
             'all_per'
$Disconnected = $Access.CloseCurrentDataBase()
...which yields the same error.
Where am I going wrong here?
mpleaf

If I try that, I get a new message:
Exception calling "TransferDatabase" with "6" argument(s): "Could not find installable ISAM."
The article you reference, I believe, is for SQL connection, not Pervasive SQL. I know the DSN works fine. We use it for other things a LOT.
I'm at a loss...and I can't seem to find the right combination...
mpleaf
The point is that newer Access does not appear to support DSNs on ODBC without an full ODBC driver. If you go DSN-less you will include the provider.
Pervasive has always been a pain. They break all rules and always have. If this is Intuit Pervasive then it is even worse.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Servlet and JDBC on linux

Hi,
I am running a servlet program on linux that retrieves some information from oracle database using jdbc.
I can run a normal java application also on linux with a database connection:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:oci:@dbname", "username", "pswd");
For the same code above I have not been able to retrieve data from the same oracle database name.
I do not understand why I can use jdbc in a normal java program, but not in a servlet program.
Could someone please explain the problem to me?
Thanks

The alternative is to use the Sun rmic, which you'll find (probably) lives somewhere near javac, javap, javah et cetera.
You are not using the sun rmic, as the stacktrace shows.
Dont just tell us that your 'paths are all correct' - post the invocation of the compiler that causes the stacktrace, along with some environment, then you might get some more detailed help

JSP connected to MS Access using JDBC-ODBC

If I want to run a jsp file connected to a MS Access database using jdbc-odbc bridge.
I thought that I should use the following code to make the connection:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)}; DBQ=http://myComputerName:8080/examples/jsp/DatabaseTest/mydatabase.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=fals";
sqlca = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "dba","sql");
but Tomcat 4.1 produces many errors.
The file runs fine when I determine the complete path and include the local drive (C://) of the database Like the following:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)};
DBQ=C:/Tomcat4.1/webapps/examples/jsp/DatabaseTest/mydatabase.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=fals";
sqlca = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "dba","sql");
Of course I do not want to use the second code because I want to use my computer as a host.
I will appreciate any answer!

Yes, using the DSN, it works fine.
But, I think it will run from the drive C.
I want to use my computer as a host. So, I think that I should include the name of the computer in the path.
I do not know may I am confused.
I appreciate your reply. Thanks!

Problem with locks while using iBATIS with MS Access through JDBC-ODBC brid

Hello,
I am attempting to use iBATIS to access MS Access file via JDBC-ODBC bridge.
(I am using Spring's "SqlMapClientDaoSupport," but that is probably irrelevant)
All this runs on Tomcat... First time DB gets accessed the LDB lock file is created. From there on the only way I can remove the lock file is to kill the JVM...
Any help is greatly appreciated...

And why is that a problem?

JDBC-ODBC Bridge to SPSS data files - Result Set Type is not supported

Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to read SPSS data files using the SPSS 32-Bit data driver, ODBC and the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
Using this SPSS Driver I manged to read the data directly into an MS-SQL Server using:
SELECT [...] FROM
OPENROWSET(''MSDASQL.1'',''DRIVER={SPSS 32-BIT Data Driver (*.sav)};DBQ=' SomePathWhereTheFilesAre';SERVER=NotTheServer'', ''SELECT 'SomeSPSSColumn' FROM "'SomeSPSSFileNameWithoutExt'"'') AS a
This works fine!
Using Access and an ODBC System DNS works for IMPORTING but NOT for LINKING.
It is even possible to read the data using the very slow SPSS API.
However, when it comes to JDBC-ODBC the below code does only work in part. The driver is loaded successfully, but when it comes to transferring data into the resultset object the error
SQLState: null
Result Set Type is not supported
Vendor: 0
occurs.
The official answer from SPSS is to use .Net or to use their implementation with Python in their new version 14.0. But this is obviously not an option when you want to use only Java.
Does anybody have experience with SPSS and JDBC-ODBC??? I have tried the possible ResultSet Types, which I took from:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/rjvdsprp.htm
and none of them worked.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and input & stay happy!

    stmt.close();
    // Close the connection
    con.close();
}

Thank you for your reply StuDerby!
Actually the above script was before, as you suggested, leaving the ResultSetTeype default. This did not work...
I am getting gray hair with SPSS - in terms of connectivity and "integratebility" none of their solutions offered is sufficient from my point of view.
Variable definitions can only be read by the slow API, data can only be read by Python or Microsoft Products... and if you want to combine both you are in big trouble. I can only assume that this is a company strategy to sell their Dimensions Platform to companies versus having companies developping their applications according to business needs.
Thanks again for any furthur suggestions and I hope, that some SPSS Developper will see this post!
Cheers!!

Cannot access remote FoxPro dbf file using jdbc-odbc and system DSN

Hi all,
I have a foxpro database sitting on remote server (netware server). the dbf folder is shared and I can access it using windows explore on my weblogic server (windows 2003). I created a system dsn for that. I can access the database from the a stand alone java program using
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection surgConn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:FoxDB", " ", " ");
But when I use the same thing in my weblogic 8.1 application, I cannot access the database. I didn't config any data source in weblogic 8.1
Why?
When I try this on my own computer - windows 2000, weblogic 8.1 workshop. remote foxpro database dbf folder. it works.
Any idea?
Thanks very much

should work OK (though I have a better way)... Be warned that the JDBC ODBC
bridge is specifically dangerous. It is not threadsafe.
