Hello Richard..
Now I just tested the all lowercase (sample) and all uppercase (SAMPLE) name of database and it works or both the cases. It showed some strange behaviours..sometime back. AN hour ago I tried to compile using all lowercases and it didn't find the database. then I opted for all Uppercase DATABASE name and it worked... Hence I would Like to take one of my point back that Database name should be defined in Uppercase. (wrong >>> either all upper or all lower) Thanks for invoking this point... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nishant Awasthi Corporate Systems Development Progressive Insurance Ryszard Lach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Tomcat Users List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 07/31/2002 cc: (bcc: Nishant Awasthi) 02:49 PM Subject: Re: AW: Connection between TOMCAT Please and DB2 (RESOLVED) respond to "Tomcat Users List" On Wed, Jul 31, 2002 at 01:26:07PM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hello all, > > I finally resolved the problem... > Problem lied in the as everyone mentioned Connection URL > Earlier I was using url = "jdbc:db2:sample" > Then I changed it to follwing > and everything worked fine... > > String url = "jdbc:db2://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/SAMPLE"; > > where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of my machine. > > Three Important things: > 1.

It was strange to me too. Unlike other databases DB2 requires DB2 Client to be installed on machine running application server (here: tomcat); then you have to catalog the (possibly remote) database locally and you can connect to it using the name it was cataloged as.
