com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver not found error

Question

I am trying to connect to my SQL Server 2008 database from Java and I\'m having the same problem from this thread.

String userName = \"xxxx\";
String password =          


        

Answer 1

You dont need both jTDS and JDBC in your classpath. Any one is required. Here you need only sqljdbc.jar.

Also, I would suggest to place sqljdbc.jar at physical location to /WEB-INF/lib directory of your project rather than adding it in the Classpath via IDE. Then Tomcat takes care the rest. And also try restarting Tomcat.

You can download Jar from : www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/sqlserverjdbc/sqlserverjdbc.jar.zip

EDIT:

As you are supplying Username and Password when connecting,

You need only jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=test, Skip integratedSecurity attribute.
