I have no jar files here but i have db2java.zip under d:\sqllib\java\ which i extracted . this extracted folder contains the folder strucure Com\ibm\db2\jdbc folders ..under this jdbc folder there are folders app and net which each contain 'DB2Driver.class' file.So i am setting the classpath to this.
For remote connectivity does running of all Db2 services is enough or is there any other tool to be running..like gateways or some thing necessary for remote connectivity..
thanks,

(if I want to run two instances of databases)

I am working on DB2 6.1 with WebSphere 3.5
1)My servlet(on websphere) is able to connect to DB2 on the same machine even without any classpath settings done eihter in MyComputer >> Environment(in Windows NT machine) OR in Websphere Admin console.How is this ??
2)As a next step, i want my servlet to connect to DB2 on a different machine (in LAN).
I have mapped the drive containing DB2 drivers in my servlets machine and set the classpath to it.
My classpath is D:\SQLLIB\java\Db2java\COM\ibm\db2\jdbc\net\DB2Driver.class
the jdbc connection string is as follows :
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:test","wasad","wasadmin");
With this i am getting the error "unable to load driver"
Pls. help me with this,
Girish.

Hi ,

DB2 v6.1 needs fixpack 4.
Try this url:http://www-4.ibm.com/software/data/db2
I have not checked this url recently.
If this doesn't work search for DB2 fixpacks in the IBM site.
fixpacks are available for different versions of DB2.fixpack 4 for DB26.1 is 59 MB in size;so you better be having a good net connectoin.

Hi,
I can't believe u installed it on Win98!!!.WebSphere application server(WAS)is an appserver and it requires Win -NT not 98/95!!!
I installed it with the foll. configuration
1)Win NT 4.0 with service pack 6a(avoid 6)
2)Minimum Celeron/P3,minimum 256MB RAM,512 better,1gig RAM best(IBM says so!!)
3)DB2 6.1 with fixpack 4
4)WAS 3.0 (needs jdk 1.1.7 and IBM HTTP server 1.3.6.2 to be installed beforehand by you)
OR
WAS 3.5(will install necessary jdk and HTTP server by itself)
5)DB27.1 can also be installed for WAS3.5(not WAS3.0,for it use only DB26.1)
6)DB2,jdk,HTTP server all must be installed before WAS3.0
7)Username you use for installing all these must have 'Administrator' rights.

all the best,
Girish

There are several diff. b/n a webserver and an appserver
-A webserver in simple terms is a fileserver that works on the HTTP protocol.It doesn't do any processing on it's own like a database access,or running an external program like CGI\servlets...each of such external programs need their own run-times or 'engines' to be installed on the webserver to enhance it's functionalities.
-An appserver like Weblogic ,Websphere has much more capabilities like
1)It has built-in support for running servlets/jsp's/ejb's.nothing needs to be installed separately.
2)Muli-tiered enterprise applications developed in jsp's/ejb's can be hosted(deployed) on an appserver.
3)It can maintain a pool of open connections to a datasource and supply them to a client request on demand.This significantly speeds up the appl. bcoz of the time saved in opening a db connection upon each request.
4)it has support for XML.
5)An appserver works in conjunction with one or more webservers at the same time.many webservers can route their incoming requests to an appserver and the appl. hosted on the appserver then proceses this request.this technique(ofcourse with a lot more details and configurations needed) does the work of managing the 'load' the appl. is handling.
there are many more interesting features of an appserver.Interested persons can check out the sites of Weblogic or WEbsphere or any other popular appserver.
Hope this helps,

You will have to use 'Dynamic font Technology' for this.there are dynamic font generating software(see www.bitstream.com)which will create a web downloadable version of any regular font file(.ttf .pfm etc.)that you specify.this webfont is downloadable over the web. your HTML pages should have references to this file ;then the font file will be automatically downloaded along with the html page without requiring any user intervention.you will get complete info at bitstream.com

My applet uses a file (a .pbl file powerbuilder users will be familiar with).when i run the applet in the browser 'Read of 'power.pbd'(which is the filename that my applet needs) not permitted ;unable to load successfully from souece file' error is shown in java console in both IE and NN.how do i go about solving when this kind of error occurs.However no such error appears in Appletviewer.
Thanks

Hi,
how to make one applet screen call the next one when a button in the first screen/form is clicked ,just as they do in VB or PB?
thanx

I am using Sybase PowerJ3.5.I have a Japplet program that uses around 10 datawindows.the associated .pbl is 348kb and .pbd is 184kb.my program is running in appletviewer but when i try to deploy it in a browser using the PowerDynamo managed Personal web server the stage-"Dependency search,Collecting info abt. the classes used by this applet " never completes.My machine doesn't hang during this but no harddisk activity is shown either.even after leaving this stage for 1 hour even 1% progress is not seen.
I am following all the steps in Deploy and Run options correctly.
Like selecting a browser ,copy to folder and path mappings in personal web server.my system has 64 mb RAM .
Pl. help
