Hello,
I am having trouble connecting to cloudscape database, have been working OK for the past
couple weeks with an application that I have writen but now big problems!
java -Djdbc.drivers=COM.cloudscape.core.RmiJdbcDriver Testjava.sql.SQLException: Connection refused to host: localhost; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
at RmiJdbc.RJDriver.connect(RJDriver.java:156)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:512)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:140)
at COM.cloudscape.core.RmiJdbcDriver.connect(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:512)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:193)
at Test.getConnection(Test.java:14)
at Test.main(Test.java:54)
*I am running cloudscape
*set the class paths to point at
- RmiJdbc.jar
- cloudclient.jar
I have written a small test program to check problem,
//////////////////////////////////CODE LISTING/////////////////////////////////////////////
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Test
{ static Connection conn = null;
static Statement stmt = null;
static ResultSet rset = null;
private Test()
public static Connection getConnection(String url) throws SQLException
{ DriverManager.setLoginTimeout(10);
return DriverManager.getConnection(url);
public static void close(Statement stmt)
{ if(stmt != null)
{ try
{ stmt.close();
}catch(Exception e)
{ e.printStackTrace();
public static void close(Connection conn)
{ if (conn != null)
{ try
{ conn.close();
}catch(Exception e)
{ e.printStackTrace();
public static void close(ResultSet rset)
{ if (rset != null)
{ try
{ rset.close();
}catch(Exception e)
{ e.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String [] args)
{ try
{ String url= "jdbc:cloudscape:rmi://localhost:2005/cloudscapeDB;create=true";
conn = getConnection(url);
stmt = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
}catch(SQLException e)
{ e.printStackTrace();
close(rset);
close(stmt);
close(conn);
Please Help me!!!!

Answer 1

It is obvious that noone is going to reply to me, so I have kind of solved this for myself,
for some unknown reason my origonal program that worked fine doesnt now.!?!?!??!?
However decided to approach problem from another side, and give both my desk and head a break.
Below is now how I am connecting to a database and return a connection to it, it works,
public static Connection getConnection() {
String databaseName = "jdbc:rmi://" + "localhost" + ":1099/jdbc:cloudscape:CloudscapeDB;autocommit=true;create=true";
try {
Class.forName("RmiJdbc.RJDriver");
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
System.out.println("PopulateTables: caught getting connection: " + e);
Connection con = null;
try {
con = DriverManager.getConnection(databaseName); // , user, password);
} catch (java.sql.SQLException se) {
System.out.println("PopulateTables: caught getting connection: " + se);
return con;
Thanks me.
