Class not found, Jdk1.4 matters?
Why drivers can't be loaded for this machine? Make me strugge for many hours already.
1)
Version j2sdk-1_4_2_07- (Java 2 se, 1.4)
Environment: Windows XP
I keep receiving "Class not found" exception error when running the following simple piece of codes for testing. (No complint When compiling). The code simply reads:
try {
System.out.println("driver loading test step 0 !!!....");
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("driver loaded 1 !!!....");
System.exit(0);
}
catch (ClassNotFoundException ee) {
System.out.println("Clss not found\n" + ee.getMessage());
}
My other simple java codes got compiled and run ok in the same enironment.
2)
I then replaced the sun jdcd-odbc bridge driver in the test with a jdbc driver (for Sql server) downloaded from DataDirect.
That is: by replacing the one line above with the following. But it gives me classNot found Exception too. I don't think it has to do with classpath as I add it in the java command line already
Class.forName("com.ddtek.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
3) I moved the codes to run in my old PC (Windows NT 4) with jdk1.3, the codes are compiled and run WITHOUT Class not found Exception.
I had more than a year experience in developing Java codes (though not recently) but what I experience now is so wierd to me. What's wrong with jdk1.4 or what's wrong with this XP machine?
Thanks.
