Hi,

I am pretty new to MyEclipse, all i am trying to do is to connect to pointbase DB thru my struts application.
But it says ClassNotFound exception for “com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver”.
But when i run the application without struts on MyEclipse or on JBuilder, it runs fine.

Here is the code to connect to pointbase DB.

//********************
Connection getConnection() throws DAOException
{

// The PointBase Universal JDBC Driver

String l_driver = “com.pointbase.jdbc.jdbcUniversalDriver”;
String l_URL = “”;
Connection l_conn=null;

l_URL = “jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost//demo”;

// Database UserID (4.2)
String l_UID = “MEDREC”;
// Database Password
String l_PWD = “medrec”;

try {
// Load the PointBase JDBC Driver
Class.forName(l_driver);//.newInstance();
// Establish connection with the database and return a Connection object
l_conn = DriverManager.getConnection(l_URL, l_UID, l_PWD);
System.out.println(“got connection”);
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.print(“here in errors :: “+e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
return l_conn;
}
//*******************

Please help

Ashu,
Your driver needs to be added to your application server’s runtime environment. THat means you need to navigate to Window > preferences > MyEclipse > Application Servers and select your connector, then go to it’s Paths settings. From there click “Add” next to Append to Classpath and find the JAR or ZIP that contains the pointbase driver and add it, hit OK and restart your server.
