Paul,
It is likely that your application server will allow you to put the jar
into it's lib directory.
If for some reason that really isn't possible you can always extract the
class files out of the jar.
No VM is required on the target; only on your machine, or the machine
that is running the java client application.

Subject: [JDBC] JDBC classes?
Hello,
I would like to set up a JDBC conenction to a remote machine. I have
a number of problems / questions before I can do this howver.
Firstly, I am using an application server where the JDBC files must
be put under a particular directory. If I am to downlaod 'precompiled
drivers', can you tell me firstly why are they .jar files and not .class
if the are precompiled? My app. server reads the .classes (stored ina
classses directory).
Also, I am not really aware what VM version is insatlled on my
machine! I can tell you that it is 1.2 or up however. What VM is
required on the target? I think that is all for now as I dont want to
exhaust my resources!
Thanks in advance
