Ask your computer to echo your classpath. Because there are spaces in it, you may need to surround the classpath in "quotes".

While normally a good theory, the environment variables on my Windows computer (including the classpath) contain spaces and works fine. If you set an environment variable in Windows my experience is that the change does not take effect on the command line before you start a new session.

That may be true, but that would be because you set it up correctly. The line posted by Punya doesn't do that. It needs quotes.

Thanks for your replies.
As suggested I used quotes this time in setting Class Path,but result is still the same.
Also when I do-

echo %CLASSPATH%
results is - %CLASSPATH%
but is not showing any classpath which has been set.

When I use the command then output is as follows ---

C:\>set classpath

CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files\SQL server driver\jtds-1.2.5.jar;

Also I have a question that classpath also been set for java.then why only class path for this particular jar is showing,why not for all set class path's.

Also suggest me ,where am I doing wrong in previous problem.(Connecting to Database).

Looking at the out put of CLASSPATH it doesn't. You don't need to set it for Java core libraries.

where am I doing wrong in previous problem.(Connecting to Database).


How you run the program?

Try setting it again as:

set classpath = "C:\Program Files\SQL server driver\jtds-1.2.5.jar";%classpath%



And then check the classpath again.

IMO, using the CLASSPATH environment variables is more trouble than it's worth. Something like this would be preferable:

java -cp "C:\Program Files\SQL server driver\jtds-1.2.5.jar;." Test

Yep That's a better approach. That will ensure it takes the right path to the jar.

Thanks Ulf Dittmer,Ashutosh

Now It is able to locate the class but saying that this driver is not appropriate.
As I already mentioned that I am using windows autentication.
Is it not possible to connect to Sql server with windows autentication ??

Use the connect string that Rob posted, that should clear up your problems. One good thing though, it is the driver that is complaining so there is no problems finding the correct driver.

Start a new thread to avoid getting overlooked as it is a different problem and different exception, and this time please post your code as we can't help without seeing the code.

Generally a connection refused is not a code issue, of course it can be. It is far more likely to be caused by the server no longer running in the same place or even allowing connections from the place of your code.

The code might be the same, but the problem and the exception is another and this thread is titled "ClassNotFoundException".

Verify that you can connect to the server through other means than your code, from the same computer that your code runs on.

I think,jar file was not set tot the classpath.When you can't set jar file to the classpath.This problem comes.Please check classpath by using echo command.
