I had commented out that line because the Java SE 6 API documentation for class DriverManager says it's no longer
necessarybut when I add it back in I get: 

Error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driverorg.postgresql.Driver

This lead me to look at why the driver name is repeated. I think it might be the connection syntax:

[String data = "jdbc:postgresql://host/database";]
// with the appropriate host and db and without the brackets
...
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
  data, "", "");

Something wrong with that?

Thanks again,
