Question

What all Jars required to run standalone Java client while making database connection to Websphere v7.0

Code

Hashtable parms = new Hashtable();
parms.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, Database.DB_CONTEXT_FACTORY);
parms.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, Database.DB_PROVIDER_URL);
logger.debug("Using context of database with parameter "+parms);
context = new InitialContext(parms);
dataSource = (DataSource) context.lookup(getName());
logger.debug("Using context of database with and the context is "+dataSource);
Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection();

Error

It seems you are missing WAS 7 client files in classpath. Get them from your WAS installation and add it to classpath. You may find those jars in installation —> runtime folder.
