Thread: Exception Error - Please help I've tried everything!

Greg:

If you're running from inside NB you need to add the PG driver as a
library to NB.  If you have the driver on your classpath then your
class should run fine outside of NB.  Test and let us know if it runs
outside of NB or if you have success adding the driver as a library in
NB.

I use Postgresql and it works beautifully.  Be encouraged that if you
get the right combo you'll have a superior environment!

Hi Greg,

Here are a couple ideas.

*. You can verify that you have a good jar file by running:
           jar tf postgresql.jar
      - org.postgresql.Driver should be listed in the jar contents.

*. You're launching your app with the wrong command line:
          $ java -cp postgresql.jar PostgresqlClient.class
         Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
PostgresqlClient/class

       Use this instead:
              $ java -cp postgresql.jar:. PostgresqlClient
        Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: No suitable
driver
         at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:545)
         at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:171)
         at PostgresqlClient.main(PostgresqlClient.java:15)

Finally - that last error is because you're using an incorrectly
formatted URL.
Set
                String url = "jdbc:postgresql:littleware://localhost:
5432";

$ javac PostgresqlClient.java

I don't have a 'root' user - but this will hopefully get you a little
closer ...

$ java -cp postgresql.jar:. PostgresqlClient

Sorry to jump in mid-thread; I no longer read every message. But I do use NB 5.0 and 5.5 with no problem. Are you
passingin -Djdbc.driver=org.postgresql.Driver to the VM? You don't in the example java -classpath etc. line below which
iswhy it doesn't work. You can put it into the NB project by right-clicking the project in the project pane, going to
"Properties",Run, and adding the -D command to the "extra parameters" text box. 

I believe that in the alternative, you can do a Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver") in your code before you start
accessingthe DB. The java.sql code doesn't know WHICH jdbc driver to load when you open the DB until you tell it.

Here are few guides:
1) Do not pass file name to "java". Pass fully qualified class name.
Your call should be "java -cp postgresql.jar:. PostgresqlClient"
2) You can use "-verbose" to check what jar files or classes are loaded.
3) For netbeans ensure you have jar in "Project properties" -> "Libraries"

Hi Greg!

Try "java -cp .;postgresql.jar PostgresqlClient"

On Windows the separator char for the classpath is ; not :. And it works
for me only if the . is the first element of the classpath.

Hope this helps,
Sebastian

PostgresqlClient.class lies in your current directory ("."),
and adding the "." directory to the class path makes java
aware of all classes in the "." "package".

java will not assume you always want to have your current dir
in your classpath, and hence the need for the explicit ".".

Hi Greg!

> Can someone explain why the .; is necessary at all?

If you run java with the -cp option, java uses only the specified paths.
Otherwise it assumes your classes are in the current directory ".". So
you have to include "." in your classpath if that is where your class
files are.
