When I run the following snippet to connect to datasource to get the data

  • 0

When I run the following snippet to connect to datasource to get the data out through queries :

        try {
        String driver = "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver";
        Class.forName(driver);
        String Url = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=movies";
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(Url,"sa", "xxxxxxx);
        //            Context initContext = new InitialContext();
        //            Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:comp/env");
        //            DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("");
        //            Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
        String query_name = "select name from list where name='" + data + "'";

this exception trace is shown :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Why am I getting this exception ? I have already made a connection to the sql server (by loading the drivers as given here) and can see the database defined in sql server. The following snapshot tells this :

    Having database defined and Class.forName(driver); is not enough.

    You need to make sure appropriate database driver jar is in classpath.
