Hello,
I wrote a little Java applet which uses jdbc to connect to a
pg installed on a linux box.
It works with Nectscape 4.5/6 but when I try to start
the applet with IE5 ( JIT on and off ) I get the SQLException
"No suitable driver found", thrown by the first try block (see
program code below).
I don't understand where the problem comes from. It seems to
be correctly done if it works with Netscape?
Any ideas around there?
The driver is situated in a subdir of the applet: ..../applet/postgres/
( single .class files, structure as in the postgres dist. )
I used jdk1.2 port for linux for compiling the driver.
The code I use to load the driver:
...
import java.sql.*;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
... private void initDBconnection() { String url = "jdbc:postgresql://a.b.c:5000/mydb?" +
"user=thename?password=thepasswd&auth=password"; String usr = "thename"; String pwd = "thepasswd";
String query = "select kreis, name from locationdata where nummer<10"; try { Class.forName(
"postgresql.Driver"); } catch( Exception ex ) { d( "could not do theSatwebDBnect to SATWeb" + ex, 100
); Error( "DBError"); } try { theSatwebDB = DriverManager.getConnection( url,
usr,pwd ); } catch( SQLException ex ) { d("The connection to SATWeb failed:" +ex+"\n", 100);
} }
