JDBC Driver for SQL Server 2005, Class not found Exception

[ttamilvanan81]

Hai, i am tried to use the SQL Server with Java and Tomcat 5.0 Application Server.
I am using the JDBC Driver for Java connecting with SQL Server. I m using SQL Server 2005. But the JDBC Connection doesn't create.
I have used the following code for java database connectivity with SQL Server

import java..sql.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(Sring[] args)
{
try
{
//load the driver class
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433; DatabaseName=timetracking ");
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
{
System.err.println(cnfe);
}
catch (SQLException sqle)
{
System.err.println(sqle);
}

The above code was compiled successfully, but it's not running. The below error was raised. I have coped and paste it the JDBC Driver class for SQL Server 2005(sqljdbc.jar) to theWEB-INF/lib folder.

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

I don't know what i am doing with wrong. If anybody know, how to solve this, kindly post me.

Thanks

have you actually added the required classes to your classpath when running your application?

Thanks for your useful reply.

sounds like a bad jar file. Impossible to say which though (but most likely your own).

Would be nice if you tell us how you sorted, so people with similar problem can look at it

I had to do one settings in SQL Server Configuration Manager
Select Protocols for MSSQLSERVER under the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration. Then Enable the TCP/IP Protocol.

And then i has to delete the old Driver(jar) file in the specified classpath, and then put the Driver File freshly.

Then i has been connected with SQL Server 2005.

Thanks
