Hi. I'm new to MyEclipse.

I'm trying to connect to an MS Access DB (resident on the local machine) through a servlet.

Code:

url = "jdbc:odbc:db"; Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);

however i get :

Quote:

java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

when i deploy it and access it.

the same url however seems to work fine with DBexplorer.

do i need to change my code? or do i need to access the table through DBexplorer? if so, how.

Ahmad,

Your code is correct, but driver can't find alias 'db' - What you think that it work in Db Explorer ?

If it work in Db Explorer then it have to work in yoour example.You have to add user and password, probably and define odbc alias

However, you can't work with hibernate and MS Access, because it doesn't exists dialect

Best regards

the issue has been resolved. there was some problem with apache tomcat.

tomcat is installed as a service and I don't have administrative rights on the machine. One or both of these reasons need me to manually shutdown and startup the server once. My application runs fine afterwards.

thankyou for your help.
