Unable To connect to Database !!

[Chetan Chauhan]

Hello Everybody !!

I use NetBeansIDE4.1 for developing jsp and servlet applications.

It comes with bundled in Tomcat-5.5.7.

I wrote a simple code for database connectivity using MS-ACCESS and
system-DSN

Here is the piece of code:

Connection con;
Statement stat;
String NewLanguage=new String("SPANISH");
String sql=new String("insert into languages values (1,'" + NewLanguage.toLowerCase() + "',1,null,null)");
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbcdbc:dsn_lang");
stat=con.createStatement();
stat.executeUpdate(sql);
stat.close();
con.commit();

out.println("<h1>New Language Added...</h1>");


stat.close();
con.close();
}catch(Exception e){}
}
It is working fine.

But when i try to deploy the .war file onto a separate machine with TOMCAT-5.5.9 and java libraries and MS-ACCESS database,the code doesnt work. Jsp messages and other effects are running properly but stuff from database is not coming on the page. System-DSN is also proper.

Then i installed TOMCAT 5.5.9 on my machine and called it inside NetBeansIDE4.1. Again the project run fine.

Then what happens when i run the project outside the IDE on the same or different TOMCAT server ?

Can anybody please solve my problem ?

Chetan,

the code doesnt work

Can you expand on this? What happens - error message, nothing returned, code kills JVM, ...

Since it works on one machine and not another, I would think it is a configuration problem. Check the driver is installed and the path to it is correct/in your classpath.

Since you are using odbc make sure you have the same odbc source set up with the same name on the other machine. Otherwise it is not going to work.
