I noticed that a lot of people have gotten the same problem in getting a database connection after using the admin tool to create a datasource in tomcat 4.1.12: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null' exception when calling getConnection() on datasource object.
I also got this problem when I created a global datasource. The problem went away when I deleted the global datasource definition and created the datasource directly in the context of the webapp I was trying to use. To clarify, I still used the gui admin tool to create the datasource - it's just that I burrowed into Service->Host(localhost)->Context(/mydbtest)->Resources->Data Sources. BTW - I'm hitting SQL Server 2000 on Win 2000. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
