I'm writing a small java program that will be called from a CL. It accesses MSSQL server to compare data against a file on the iSeries.

Where should I put the jdbc driver? On other platforms, I've put the driver in the java extensions directory, but "Q" directories are supposed to be off limits for user stuff (hence /QIBM/UserData/Java400/ext/ can't be used). Is there a ext directory I can use?

In the interim, I've added the jdbc driver classes into my program's jar file to work around the problem. But a couple of specific questions:

1. If I avoid my workaround and avoid the /QIBM directories, no matter what I do with classpath, I always get an error "No suitable driver found" when I try to connect to MSSQL. What is the right way to set classpath?

2. What is the difference between UserData and ProdData in the /QIBM directory?

Sorry if this is documented and I'm missing it. I'm fairly new to java on iSeries. Any pointers to documentation are most welcome.
