Thread: JDBC & IE40

Hello,

Since the bug in Internet Explorer 4.0 doesn't allow you to
make a Class.forName("portgresql.Driver") to load the postgresql-
driver, I now load it manually with DriverManager.registerDriver()
instead.  However, now I get a "not-very-wanted" errormsg
"cannot access "hostname.com""... ?

Anyone familiar with this? What class generates this msg?
(what exception?)

Cheers,
  MIKE

Is hostname.com your postgresql server?

I presume you are using:

    java.sql.DriverManager.registerDriver(new Driver());

This is how the driver registers itself

The only place I can think is IOException (unless your postgresql server
is not the same as the web server).
