Hi,

I've been trying to connect to a test Firebird database I set up using
the exact same sample source code provided inthe JayBird zip using a
DataSource. THe database was created with my trusty copy of EMS
IBManager..with no data. I just wanted to test the connection.

The source code is like this:
FBWrappingDataSource dataSource = new FBWrappingDataSource();
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(osw,true);
dataSource.setDatabase
("jdbc:firebirdsql://localhost/3050:D:/Javadev/Databases/MURATEST.GDB");
dataSource.setLogWriter(pw);
dataSource.setSqlRole("USER");
dataSource.setEncoding("NONE");
dataSource.setNonStandardProperty("isc_dpb_sweep", null);
dataSource.setNonStandardProperty("isc_dpb_num_buffers", "75");
try {
dataSource.setLoginTimeout (5);
System.out.println("trying to connect to " + dataSource.getDatabase());
Connection c = dataSource.getConnection ("sysdba", "masterkey");
System.out.println ("got connection");
c.close ();
}
catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
System.out.println ("sql exception: " + e.getMessage ());
}

I wasnt able to get the "got connection" message, simply getting an
exception with the blocking timeout. I'm using Eclipse, Firebird 1.5
RC8. I've included the firebirdsql-full.jar in the libraries section
of Eclipse so I assume that's not the problem. I tried using the
printwriter to debug the problem but I am not too familiar with
programming JDBC stuff as this is my first time doing it..

Would appreciate it if someone can provide some pointers.

Many thanks.
