Question

    I'm having trouble running from ant.  When I run straight from the class 
    file as follows it compiles and runs

    Jasons-MacBook-Pro:src js$ java Hw5
    Student ID:  1
    First Name:  Jason
    Last Name:  S
    Phone:  [phone]
    Email:  [e-mail]
    Personal Tagline:  Never say never

    The following line of code is used when it runs correctly as above
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:/Users/js/Desktop/JavaDevelopmentAnt/HW5_JDBC/lib/Hw5Db");

    my code

    import java.sql.*;
    import java.util.Enumeration;

    public class Hw5{
       public static void main (String [] args){
          try{
             Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:/Users/js/Desktop/JavaDevelopmentAnt/HW5_JDBC/lib/Hw5Db");
             //Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:Hw5Db");//ant file code
             Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
             ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM STUDENT");

             while(resultSet.next()){
                int studentID = resultSet.getInt("STUDENT_ID");
                String firstName = resultSet.getString("FIRSTNAME");
                String lastName = resultSet.getString("LASTNAME");
                String phone = resultSet.getString("PHONE");
                String email = resultSet.getString("EMAIL");
                String mantra = resultSet.getString("PERSONAL_TAGLINE");
                System.out.println("Student ID:  " + studentID + "\n" + 
                                "First Name:  " + firstName + "\n" + 
                                "Last Name:  " + lastName + "\n" +
                                "Phone:  " + phone + "\n" +
                                "Email:  " + email + "\n" +
                                "Personal Tagline:  " + mantra + "\n");
             }
             resultSet.close();
             statement.close();
             connection.close();         
          }
          catch(SQLException sqle){
             System.err.println("SQL Exception: " + sqle);
          }
       }
    }



    but when I try from my build.xml  i change the following line of code to
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:Hw5Db");

    because i think database jar file (Hw5Db) is in the classpath of my build.xml

    my build.xml

    I'm trying, I just can't get it to work

Answer 1

i fixed the issue, the build.xml wasn’t finding to the database drivers

classpath path=”${env.DERBY_HOME}/lib/derby.jar

classpath path=”${env.DERBY_HOME}/lib/derbytools.jar

and the connection path to the database should have been

jdbc:derby:./lib/Hw5Db
