Try using a system DSN instead of a user DSN.

Subject: Servlets and JDBC


I am working on a web base application that uses a servlet to access a
database using the JDBC-ODBC bridge (sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver). The
database is a MS Access database. I am having trouble connecting to the
database.
My program is able to load the driver but it fails to open the connection.

I am using :

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MyDatabase"); <----
This fails.

I have MyDatabase setup in the ODBC Datasource Administrator of Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 SP4 as:

User DSN: Pointing to my database file
D:\JavaWebServer1.1.3\database\mydata.mdb with no passwords.

Anyone has any ideas????? It also happens with stand alone applications so
I'm thinking something is wrong in my ODBC settings in Windows.

Need Help!
