Hi Benoit, Still, it does not work, the /root/libs folder does not by default exists in the 3.6.1 guice-jpa docker container, so I had to create it but even it did not solve the issue coz I still get the same error : ClassNotFoundException: org.postgresql.Driver
Below is every directory I have placed the Postgres jar in. # docker exec -it james_run sh # # find / -name post* /root/james-server-cli.lib/postgresql-42.3.1.jar /root/extensions-jars/postgresql-42.3.1.jar /root/libs/postgresql-42.3.1.jar /root/james-server-jpa-guice.lib/postgresql-42.3.1.jar /root/postgresql-42.3.1.jar # I still do not understand what it is going to take for the james jvm to pick up the jar file coz I have also used the jcmd tool to inspect the class hierarchy in the JVM and there is not any postgres class from the postgres jar. Kindly let me know your thoughts as well.
