Hi all,
Is there any way to connect to database without using class.forName("...")??

you could configure a DataSource and use it to get a connection to connect to the database.

Class.forName() doesn't connect to a database, it loads the driver. You can also load the driver using -Djdbc.driver=<driver class>

either in system properties file or at command line while running the app(if applicable)
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
