JDBC connection to MS SQL Server .. HELP

Hello JAVA Whizs...
I am new to working together with JAVA and MS SQL Server.
Can anyone tell me how well JAVA goes with
MS SQL server?
What I need to do is to setup a JDBC connection from my JAVA servlet to
access MS SQL Server database.
Can anyone tell me the sample code required for
achieving my goal.
Thanks a lot,
Nishant
