Hi,I am trying to access DB2 with JDBC driver in the tomcat3.3 server.Following is the code: Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver"); conn = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:db2:BankDB",userid,passwd); I also include the db2java.zip in the CLASSPATH. When I run a simple java application with above code to test the database access,it works.But when I use it in a servlet from Tomcat,I got the ClassNotFoundException Error.It seems the server can not get the driver. I checked old posts in JavaRanch and still can not get a clear solution.I also ran the usejdbc2.bat in DB2. Any advice? Do I need to install the DB2 client in the machine? Right now the DB2 server,Tomcat server and all programs are in the same Win2000 box. Thanks
Are you using Tomcat 4.x. I had a similar problem when accessing my Access database. The problem is with the classpath settings. Here is what I suggest you try out. In the bin directory you should see catalina.bat. Open it up. Under that you should see the following lines rem ----- Set Up The Runtime Classpath ---------------------------------------- set CP=%CATALINA_HOME%\bin\bootstrap.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar if "%JSSE_HOME%" == "" goto noJsse set CP=%CP%;%JSSE_HOME%\lib\jcert.jar;%JSSE_HOME%\lib\jnet.jar;%JSSE_HOME%\lib\jsse.jar :noJsse set CLASSPATH=%CP% *Replace the last line with* set CLASSPATH=%CP%;%CLASSPATH% Let me know if this works.
