Re: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

["Mads N. Vestergaard" <mnv(at)timmy(dot)dk>]

Well, it gives me:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)
        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(Unknown Source)
        at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
        at Database.<init>(Database.java:16)
        at Gateway.main(Gateway.java:19)

But I think you're right... But my problem is, that if I try to run it with the classpath flag, and also the classpath environment vartiable, it fails.
The path is correct.

I believe that I have overseen something, but I have looked over the setup a dusin of times now, and I can't spot it.

5 will get you 10 that your class path isn't setup correctly. Try adding ex.printStackTrace() to the catch handler for Class.forName

Hi Everybody, when I try to run my program, I get the following error message:

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver

        at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)

My connect code is:

try {

    Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");

      }catch (ClassNotFoundException e){

      }

      try {

        db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://hostname/" + dbName,"bruger","kode");

      } catch (SQLException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

      }

On my system I have putted the jdbc driver for postgres into the classpath:

hostname:~$ echo $CLASSPATH

/usr/share/java/pg74.216.jdbc3.jar

Java version:

hostname:~$ java -version

java version "1.5.0_06"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

As far as I know it should work since, it is correct in the classpath. I have also tried with other postgres jdbc drivers. In my IDE(Eclipse), it works fine, but on my production server it gives the error. 

I've also tried to run the program with the -classpath flag, with the same result.

Have I simply forgotten something, or is there something seriously wrong?

Thanks in advance.
