Hi all,

Have gone back to College and am trying to get an app
working with Firebird Embedded on Windows, using the
dll (no equivalent on Unix?).


I don't have admin access to the machine, but can change
the user variables and have put everything into
D:\Paulie\Test1 and have added this to the CLASSPATH
and PATH variables.

I also put all the files from the
Jaybird-2.1.6JDK_1.6.zip into this directory.

I also put IBOConsole into this dir and it runs fine!


This code fails (and as a result, nothing works!)

try
{
Class.forName("org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("TEST");
System.out.println(e.toString());
}


and I get the error (in BlueJ)

TEST
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver

From the dos prompt I get


D:\Paulie\Test1>java TestDB.class
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: TestDB/class
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: TestDB.class
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)

===========================

Does anybody have a solution to my problem - i.e. connecting to
Firebird dll?


TIA and rgs.


Paul...
