Hi ,
    I have problem with connecting to the Database
from servlets.
    I working on windows NT. I am using IPlanet Web
Server. I wrote a class to connect to he MS Access
database which uses jdbc.odbc driver.
     It is working fine if I run it as an stand alone
program i.e by invoking its main() method. But when I
use it in a servlet, I am getting the following error.

[SQLException]Driver Manager. Data source name not
found and default driver is not found.

    I checked the name given to the driver and data
sourse, they are correct.
    the code is as follows
        Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
        Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bookstore");

    The problem is that the program is compiling
correctly but giving error at runtime i.e it is
unable to get the connection , which might be because
the "java virtual machine" which IPlanet uses might
have not found the class for jdbc.odbc dirver classes.
( Its just a guess becuase I can not think of any
thing else )
    If some one can tell me if I should include some
other classes of JDBC.ODBC Bridge dirver in the JRE
path of the IPlanet which might solve the problem, or
some thing else, it would be a great help.
Thank You in advance.
Sreenu
