SQL Exception No suitable driver

[Ram cherla]

Hello All,

While using DB2 UDB V8.1 type4 driver, i was getting below error.
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)

Do you know why? I checked in the classpath, db2jcc.jar is in classpath.
---
partial code:
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Binder");
String url = "jdbc b2://servername ortNumber/databaseName";
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,userId,passwd);
-----

Thanks,
-Ram

Ram,
Is there a reason you aren't using the standard driver?

 Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");

[Ram cherla]

statement.setQueryTimeOut() and cancel was not implemented in standard type2 driv.

Hello All,
SQL Exception No suitable driver probelm got fixed. I was using wrong class while loading driver.
Correct one is: Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver").newInstance();

Thanks for your help.

While typically not important, the .newInstance() is not required unless you're still developing in Java 1.1
