Question

Hi I recently updated the java version on my mac to 1.6.0_29 and now the following line continually causes my program to crash. Java does not throw an error it just runs endlessly and i have to force close it. The program works fine on my windows 7 pc so I am relatively sure that this bug has to do with the new update.

conn = DriverManager.getConnection(conurl, user, pass);

This is the function I have written along with my my driver. I am using sqljbdc4.

public static Connection dbCon(String conurl, String user, String pass, String db) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException{
    String JDBC_DRIVER = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver";
    Connection conn;
    Statement stmt;
    String sql;
    Class.forName(JDBC_DRIVER);
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(conurl, user, pass);
    stmt = conn.createStatement();
    sql = "USE "+db;
    stmt.executeUpdate(sql);
    return conn;
}

I’ve had success on Java 1.6 using the JTDS driver. I’m personally using Linux, but have a coworker using the same driver on his MacBook.
