J2ME does not suport DriverManager. This is because the JDBC JSR169 subset only supports javax.sql.DataSource as the connection mechanism. I currently have the test suite running under J2ME with about a 50% pass rate. Many of those failures are due to use of DriverManager, which I will look at fixing in one way or another. So at the momeent I would request anyone to minimize use of DriverManager, but if it is needed then use it. Dan.
