RE: registerDriver not found

["Tim Kosacek" <tkosacek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you reference jt400.jar within your Jbuilder project?  If not,
depending on what version you are using, you can do this by clicking on
the "project" menu, select the "project properties" option, click the
"required libraries" tab, click the "add" button, click the "New"
button, enter a name for the library (this is just a description), and
click the "add" button and naviage to jt400.jar.  Then just click
backwards through the OK buttons until it shows up in the required
libraries list.  If you didn't have jt400.jar in the classpath, this is
most likely the problem because when you try
DriverManager.registerDriver(new
com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver()); the compiler does not know that
the com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver implements java.sql.Driver.
Therefore, it will tell you it can't find the registerDriver method that
you seem to be asking it for.  If you already had the classpath
configured the only other thing I would check from reading these posts
is that you have the "new" keyword in the registerDriver call.  With
that said,
Class.forName("com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDriver") will work either
way.  It will compile no matter what and will throw a
ClassNotFoundException at runtime if it can't find the JDBC driver
class.  Anyways, good luck.

Oh well......What I am trying to accomplish with this exercise is to
retrieve some data from the 400 and display it in a browser. It's an
example from the Java at Work book. I'm entering the program in
JBuilder. I just thought that when I click on "make" it would at least
find all the necessary classes and methods! I'll just forget about it
until I get more comfortable within the language and figure out Tomcat.

Thanks for the help anyway!

Without better answers, there's not much that I can do.  I need to know
how you're trying to run your program.  It sounds like it isn't
installed in Tomcat.  You didn't provide an environment listing.  Are
you just trying to run it in Qshell?

If so, it sounds like you don't have c:\jtopen\lib\jt400.jar in your
CLASSPATH.

HTH,
Gary
