connecting to Informix 7.x [message #145219]

Hi

I'm new to eclipse and very much a novice when it comes to Java. I've
installed
Eclipse SDK, Version: 3.1.1, Build id: M20050929-0840 under Windows 2000

I've downloaded and installed the jdbc drivers from Informix. When setting
up a connection I'm not sure what values I should be using for JDBC Driver
class or the jar file I should select for the Class location

I've gleaned most values from the connection set-up for Server Studio and
Informix docs.

Looking at the choices I have for dtabase manager I notice versions
numbers 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4. Does this mean I can't set up a connection to
version 7.x?

I've tried the following values
JDBC driver class: com.informix.jdbc.ifxDriver
Class location: C:\IBM\Informix JDBC Driver 2.21.JC5\lib\ifxjdbc.jar
Connection URL: jdbc:informix-sqli://1.2.3.4:1000:INFORMIXSERVER=myserver

When I test the connection I get the following
"Connection to Informix failed. com.informix.jdbc.ifxDriver"

Is there anything obvious I'm doing wrong? Any advice would be much
appreciated.

Regards

Chris

P.S. I've tried setting up a Mysql connection too. It fails with stack
trace. How can i capture this? I don't really want to type the entire
message.

Hi again,

For no apparent reason the error message has changed.

"Connection to Informix failed. User (con.informix.asf.
ASFRemoteException: myuid)'s password is not correct for the database
server."

This looks more promising but can't understand why this password works for
Server Studio and not for eclipse.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

No ideas as of yet..

I have a similar problem in wanting to use the IBM DB2 Universal driver for Derby DB and being given an error that license.jar is missing but no directions on how to included the license.jar..
