I'm trying to execute the following code :

properties.put("user", user);
properties.put("password", password);
properties.put("lc_ctype", charset);

try {
DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/3050:c:/interbase.data/CIEEL.GDB
", properties);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

and what I'm getting is :

java.sql.SQLException: Problem getting connection: could not get a
