Type 1 Jdbc-Odbc Bridge Driver. But forgot to state I am also using JNDI etc. Hence for I need a.jar file. Again you don't need to download any extra driver. Java has included a JDBC/ODBC Bridge driver as a. You also need to download the following Open Source JAR files. Load all the JAR files in the User. 9 - JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge is a JDBC driver that implements JDBC. (those allowed to write to files) will be able to use the Bridge. Java has included a JDBC/ODBC Bridge driver as a. Download the following Open Source JAR files. This is a commercial JDBC-ODBC Bridge. Download the Microsoft JDBC Driver 6.0 for SQL Server. (JRE) and the associated JDBC API versions are determined by the included JAR files as follows.
posted 13 years agoHi guys,
I have a Tomcat 5.X running and Im trying to connect to a MS Access database, I know I need a JDBC driver from what I can gather from the info I have been reading, my question
i) which driver(s) do I need?
ii) Where do i find them>? I've been on MS's website and all that comes up is a SQL Server 2000 jdbc driver.
Thanks in advance for your time/advice

posted 13 years agoyou don't need to download any driver.
There is one driver that comes with j2sdk. Type 1 Jdbc-Odbc Bridge Driver
Its complete path is...
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
You need to write following code to make a database connection
dsn you have to create from control panel/odbc.

Most people use the JDBC-ODBC bridge, which is built into Java; no seperate driver required.

There are some commercial drivers for MS Access out there; I've never used one and don't know any particular names.

posted 13 years agoRead Tomcat documentation for that from your http://localhost:8080/.
It provides complete description of jndi datasource. Tomcat provides read only jndi datasource object.
You need to expose your dsn by jndi datasource which you can do from your <Context> tag of Server.xml.
Again you don't need to download any extra driver for that irrespective of how you are getting database connection object.

Stu - jdbc-odbc is used when your not using JNDI - hence cant use it now that I am wanting to use JNDI
Naseem - I have followed the Tomcat instructions for configurig JNDI, so changed the web.xml and server.xml accordingly [adding the context tag, then resource etc..] still no luck though.
I have a funny feeling that MS Access is not JNDI compatible - I came across this in another javaranch forum:
If there is anybody out there who has got this combination working [MS Access + Tomcat + JNDI], let me know please. Thanks
Oh btw I'm using Tomcat 5.5

posted 13 years agoOn Tomcat 5.5.8, do it like this...
Add the Context tag in the Server.xml within the <Host> tag.
db1 is data source name which you have to create from control panel.
You don't need to put any entry for jndi in your web.xml.
Now with above Context tag in server.xml, here is a code snippet which will return Connection object from Connection pool.
I tested this on my machine, it worked.

What abt the docBase?? I have the base directory where all the different web applications i'm working on are
e.g. C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 5.5webapps
My resources tag in the server.xml <Resource name='jdbc/db1'...
[is this the dsn-name you give your database resource?]
the url reads --> url= 'jdbc:odbc:db1'
My MS Access database is on my desktop and is added via DSN--> system, called db1 - real file name is testMyDb.mdb [DSN --> system, works for classforname�..]
The servlet code is as follow
It all seems ok to me? Why am I then having a problem? Error is something along the lines of JDBC is not bound in the context.
I�ve been reading the web and people advice to create a file called context.xml � is that necessary?
Is this an environmental problem or a coding problem? I call all my servlets directly by enabling the invoker servlet via conf/web.xml
