I export the application as a JAR file, I have included the JT400.JAR

(-cp .). What am I not understanding when it searches for the JDBC
driver? Thanks in advance.

Your classpath needs to include the actual JAR that the JT400 classes live in. Including the JT400.JAR in the application JAR does not work (as far as I know). Using '-cp .' tells the JVM to only include classes there are in the current directory.

If you extracted the classes from JT400.JAR and included them in your application jar, then it would work.

Your classpath should look something like this ... "-classpath ./jt400.jar;./application.jar"
