In my installation we have DB2 on a mainframe computer. I am able to
access DB2 from my PC (WinXP) using some utilities. I wrote a Java

After command:
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
I am getting exception:
Exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver
I copied db2java.zip and db2jcc.jar files to a default directory of
JBuilder, even to the same directory where I have my program, but it
did not help.
What I am doing wrong?
You need to put the JDBC driver jar file in classpath. Just putting
then in those directories does not put them in classpath.
I tried - it did not help.
I am using JBuilder to write my program, so I moved db2java.zip and
db2jcc.jar to
C:\JBuilder2005\jdk1.4\bin and
C:\JBuilder2005\jdk1.4\lib
On top of it I found a directory in a classpath variable and move this
files to this directory - nothing helped. Still getting the same
error.
I repeat:
Just putting a jar file in a directory does not put it in classpath.
(with a few exceptions that does not apply here)
You need explicitly to tell JBuilder to use this jar file.
