How to install a JDBC driver?
Hello, everybody!
I'm new to Java and I'm trying to install a JDBC driver. So, I downloaded the JayBird,
a JDBC driver for Firebird, and now I don't know how to install the driver. I keep
getting this message from the compiler when I try to compile the example that comes
with the driver:
DriverExample.java:182: package org.firebirdsql.jdbc does not exist
d = new org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver ();
^
1 error
So, in the directory that has the example file (DriverExample.java) I created the
following directory structure:
C:\Example\org\firebirdsql\jdbc
and inside the jdbc directory I copied the driver files:
firebirdsql.jar
mini-concurrent.jar
jaas.jar
mini-j2ee.jar
log4j-core.jar
and I still keep getting the error from the compiler. I just would like to
know what I have to do to install this driver correctly for the compiler to
find its packages.
Below are the instructions the comes with the help to install JayBird, but I
think that I did everything and it still didn't work:
======================================================================
The classes from firebirdsql.jar must be in the classpath of the Java
application being compiled, or otherwise made available to your application.
The classes from the following packages must also be available:
mini-concurrent.jar
jaas.jar (included in jdk 1.4)
mini-j2ee.jar (now including JDBC classes)
log4j-core.jar (if you want logging available)
The firebirdsql-full.jar file has all of the needed files in one
archive for ease of use.
These archives are included in the binary package.
======================================================================
Please can someone help me?
Thank you...
