Re: java.net.SocketException: The protocol required tosupport thespecified address family is not available at this time.

Hi Dick,

<string value="jdbc:as400://MYMACHINE/MYDATABASE"/>

That's the connection URL, not the driver. But, since the subprotcol is
"as400", that tells me it's the Toolbox driver. As a Type 4, "thin" driver, it does use TCP/IP.

In your case, given your solution, it seems to apply to Tomcat
initialization not being complete when access is attempted. Don't know if
that applies to the OP. Vielen Dank!

Toolbox AFAIK. JOCLPoolingDriver sez:
<string value="jdbc:as400://MYMACHINE/MYDATABASE"/>

Hi Dick,

The database is "not ready",

Interesting. Are you using the Toolbox or native JDBC driver? Just
trying to relate to something to do with TCP/IP.

I've seen this message. When tomcat comes up during the IPL, my webapp
throws this. The database is "not ready", although i'm not sure why
since the database comes up waaay before tomcat. I wrap the getConfig
query in my serlvet's init which sleeps on the error.
I always thought that it was interesting that this message is deceptive
to the actual problem.

I've never seen it while the system is actually running.
