I'm by no means a SQL Server expert, but based on the error I would guess the driver is not communicating with the server.
Can you connect to the database from the Tomcat server but outside of Tomcat (using some query tool)? -----Original Message----- From: John Mattos [mailto:mattosj@;yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 3:20 PM To: Tomcat Users List; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: JDBC Error with Tomcat 4.0.6 anyone? All, I need a little help with this one. I'm porting an app to Tomcat 4.0.6 from WebSphere 4.03 and I'm getting a JDBC Error, java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. I've included a bit about my app to see if anyone can help me figure out where my misconfiguration is. Am I using the right driver for SQL Server 2000? (I'm using msutil.jar, mssqlserver.jar and msbase.jsr, the native drivers) Should I be using a different class? Is my JDBC URL not formed properly? I guess I need help from a SQL Server/Tomcat guru... Thanks!
