I am using jasper reports 4.5.1. I just included all the dependencies required for jasper-reports-4.5.1. I am getting the following exception 

Could not connect to the database: No suitable driver found for CatalogNew No suitable driver found for CatalogNew.
Apr 26, 2012 1:01:51 PM net.sf.jasperreports.engine.query.JRJdbcQueryExecuter <init>
WARNING: The supplied java.sql.Connection object is null.

on executing following code. 

  databaseName=ReportDriver.databaseName;
  userName=ReportDriver.userName;
  password=ReportDriver.password;
 Class.forName("net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver");
 jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(databaseName,userName,password);

I also included the database lib jtds.1.2.5 in the lib folder of IReport-4.5.1 installation.

    Apparently ReportDriver.databaseName contains a database name (“CatalogNew”), not a JDBC URL.

    But the method DriverManager.getConnection() expects a JDBC URL.

    Most probably you’ll need to do something like this:

    String baseURL "jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost/";
jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(baseURL + databaseName,userName,password);

    You will need to replace localhost with the name of the server running your SQL Server instance.

    For more details on the connection URL see the jTDS documentation:
    http://jtds.sourceforge.net/faq.html#urlFormat
