Sanjeev,
One thing right away is the url for the database connection should be
"jdbc:postgresql://hostname/dbname"
Where hostname could be localhost
What I would do if I were you is write a small non-servlet program to do
what you are trying to do below.
i.e. take the init code and put it into the main of a small class then
if that is running try to put it back into the servlet.

Subject: [JDBC] can't access database from servlet
Iam trying to access a table from PostgreSQL 7.1.3
from servlet.
These are the software that I am running.
Tomcat 4.0
PostgreSQL 7.1.3
RedHat 7.2
I am able to access PostgreSQL database from stand
alone Java program.
I am able to access meta data of PostgreSQL from
servlet, which means(i think) that JDBC driver must be
working. I am able to access database called 'auction'
and table called 'names' from a sql command prompt
which has one row of record. When servlet is executed
ResultSet returns null when it shoud return result of
SQL query.
I don't know where the problem could be but it seems
that Java code or some type of permission is
incorrect. Here is my simple Servlet code that
compiles but gives ResultSet as null.
please help!
I am working on this problem for about 4 days now.
Thanks,
Sanjeev
