Problem to locate my db - classpath problem

Question

hi all,
i'm encoutering problems to locate my db through a simple java program.
-> Here is the content of the properties file i use to make my connection to the db
jdbc.drivers=com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:pointbase:filmography
jdbc.username=PUBLIC
jdbc.password=PUBLIC
where filmography is the name of my db. [database Pointbase]
EXecuting the following command:
java -classpath c:\MikeFolder\_JAVA\pointbase\classes\pointbasemobile228r.jar;
c:\MikeFolder\_JAVA\pointbase\classes;
InterfaceAppl.MenuPrincipal
where InterfaceAppl.MenuPrincipal is the name of my java program, igot the following error message:
SQLException:
SQLState: ZN006
Message: Database FILMOGRAPHY does not exist or cannot be found in home \pointbase\databases either specify database.home=<folder> in PointBase.ini
to indicate the database folder or create the database.
Strange cause the database filmography is well present in the directory pointbase\databases AND file "Pointbase.ini"e contains well the line:
"database.home=c:\MikeFolder\_JAVA\pointbase\databases"
any idea where is the problem located ? thanks in advance

Answer 1

your URL is wrong, I think
see Pointbase doc about it
should be something like
jdbc:pointbase://<server-name-or-IP>:<port>/<dbname>by the way, I love your nick, dear fellow Brusselaar ;-)
