Postgresql-JDBC connectivity

From
Minal
Date:
Hi...
I am novice user of Postgresql8.0.3. I managed to export the database
from sql server. We have all our application in JSP. I want to install
the org.postgresql.driver..
I completed the following steps...
1.Downloaded the jar file from http://jdbc.postgres.org
2. Copied it in the lib folder of Jakarta..
3. Edited the pages to use the Driver..am still not able to connect...

Where am I going wrong??

Hi,

How are you trying to connect, what is the error message,
specifically which lib directory of jakarta did you copy it into?

I set the classpath, copied in the lib folder of web-inf. If I try to
run a simple java program shown below:
import java.sql.*;

public class Example1
{
public static void main(String[] argv)
{
   System.out.println("Checking if Driver is registerd");
   try
   {
   Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
   }
   catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
   {
   System.out.println("Couldn't find the Driver");
   cnfe.printStackTrace();
   System.exit(1);
   }
   System.out.println("registered the Driver OK, so lets make a
connection");
   Connection c = null;
     try
   {
   c=
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost/trainneedcorp","postgres","admin");

   }
   catch(SQLException se)
   {
   System.out.println("Couldnt connect");
   se.printStackTrace();
   System.exit(1);
   }
   if(c != null)
   System.out.println("WE CONNECTED");
   else
   System.out.println("Reaching here is not done");
   }
   }
   I get the following error:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver

You need to put it in common/lib under jakarta's home directory.  That's
the only place the class loader can find it.

Show me the output of echo $CLASSPATH when you run this.

Restart tomcat and try it again.

When you add a jar I always have to restart tomcat.
