jdbc: iden authentication using fedora core6

[parul195]

i am facing some problems with the following code.
initially the jdbc driver(jdbc 4/3) ws not getting registered...nw somehw that problem has been rectified.bt nw i m unable to connect with the database(PostgreSQL).

The code i have written is as follows

import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.SQLException;


public class Example1 {
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
  System.out.println("Checking if Driver is registered
with DriverManager.");

  try {
    Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
  } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
    System.out.println("Couldn't find the driver!");
    System.out.println("Let's print a stack trace, and
exit.");
    cnfe.printStackTrace();
    System.exit(1);
  }

  System.out.println("Registered the driver ok, so
let's make a connection.");

  Connection c = null;

  try {
    // The second and third arguments are the username
and password,
    // respectively. They should be whatever is
necessary to connect
    // to the database.
    c =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://localhost/ids","postgres","123456");

  } catch (SQLException se) {
    System.out.println("Couldn't connect: print out a
stack trace and exit.");
    se.printStackTrace();
    System.exit(1);
  }

  if (c != null)
    System.out.println("Hooray! We connected to the
database!");
  else
    System.out.println("We should never get here.");
  }
}

What it looks like is, either the user "postgres" doesn't exist in the DB, or the provided password is wrong.

Edit:

Or the provided user does not have permission to access the Tablespace/SID/whatever_it_is_called_in_PostGreSQL requested in the URL (the part after localhost).
