Subject problems with Class.forName
Author Harrison, Matthew
Hi all-

I'm trying to test out firebird but am having trouble connecting.

I get an
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/resource/ResourceException

at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)

error when trying to run the test. It works fine if I use the SQL Server
lines above that are commented out.

Am I not importing the right things? I know that the firebirdsql.jar is
in my classpath.

Any hints on connecting? It appears that I've tried what the release notes
say.

thanks

matt

ps-heres some relevant code

import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
import org.firebirdsql.*;
/**
*
* Main data object.
*/
public class DataObject
{

protected DataObject()
{
nodeHash = new Hashtable();
try
{
//Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
//con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:GSBuilder", "sa", "");

Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:firebirdsql:localhost/3050:D:\\Program Files\\Firebird\\bin\\GSBUILDER.GDB", "SYSDBA", "masterkey");

}
catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
{
}
catch (SQLException se)
{
}

}
