Answer 1

Steps

• Open the Sql Server Configuration Manager (Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 -> Configuration Tools)

• Expand SQL Server Network Configuration -> [Your Server Instance]

• Double click TCP/IP

• Under Protocol:

• Ensure Enabled is Yes

• Under IP Addresses:

• Scroll to the bottom and set the TCP Port under IPAll, (1433 by default)

• Find the IP address you want to connect to and set Enabled and Active to Yes

Answer 2

You need to Go to Start > Microsoft SQL Server > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager

When it opens Go to

SQL Server Configuration Manager > SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLExpress 

Where you'll find the Protocol TCP/IP, if disabled then Enable it Click on TCP/IP, You'll find its properties.

In this properties Remove All the TCP Dynamic Ports and Add value of 1433 to all TCP Port
and restart your SQL Server Services > SQL Server

And Its Done.

Answer 3

To query database SQL Server with JDBC

Firstly, You need to find out the IP of your SQL Server and Enable TCP/IP and set TCP/IP port either. To do that, do these steps:

• Open SQL Server Configuration Manager

  • Choose SQL Server Network Configuration -> Protocols for -> Right click on TCP/IP -> select Enable (if already enabled then move to next step) -> Right click to TCP/IP again -> Properties -> Choose tab IP Address -> In IPAll group: Clear value of TCP Dynamic Ports and set 1433 to TCP Port -> Click OK

    Note: Copy one of the IPs in the Properties table to do config later

  • Double click to SQL Server Services - > Right click to SQL Server (USER) ** -> Choose **Restart

Now, you already have the IP, config server as below:

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" />
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:sqlserver://put.the.ip.here:1433;databaseName=<DB-Name>" />
        <property name="username" value="sa" />
        <property name="password" value="p@ssW0rd" />
</bean>

Note: Remove destroy-method="close" out of the bean
