JDBC -Java Configuration

[GabeC]

I am new to Java development and am having trouble with database access.

Actually, the code works on my development machine where I have installed the development kit but it does not work on the staging machince where I have only installed the Java Runtime Environment.

This is my code:

import java.sql.*;
…
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );

This is the error I am receiving.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun/jdbc/odbc/JdbcOdbcDriver


My first thought is that the Java environment is not setup correctly and I have found web sites that verify this. What I can not find is how to correct the problem.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do on my staging computer to get this working?

Thank you for your help.

Hi,
A ClassNotFoundException occurs only when u dont have the class which u are asking for..
When u do a Class.forName(*), u are trying to register that driver class as the one that u will be using to access the database.. but i think that class is not present in ur staging computer environment. All u need to do is to copy that file with the same package heirarchy into ur staging computer.

Hope this helps
