No suitable driver found - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Greetings,

I've been looking for a solution to this error for a few days now.
Everything I've found says that the problem should be that I have a
malformed url but I've gone over it dozens of times and I don't think
that it's wrong (I wish it was). I'm trying to use hibernate tools to
generate my database schema through the JDBC driver. Hibernate is pretty
good at this. I've done it many times before in other databases (MySQL,
MsSQL, Oracle, HSQLDB, etc...). I'm using,

PostgreSQL server version 8.3.7 that I installed through the
http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.3/redhat yum repository.
I'm using version 8.3-603.jdbc4 of the jdbc driver (I've tried several
others including the 8.3-605 and the 8.4-701 all with the same error)
I'm using JDK 1.6.0_13 (with 1.5 source/compile targets)



I'm able to log into the database

I'm getting the following stack trace,
11:09:45,533  INFO org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl.SchemaExport - Running
