Re: Problem loading driver

Hi Maignan,

man java, will tell you what the -cp does....

"       -classpath classpath

       -cp classpath

              Specifies a list of directories, JAR archives, and ZIP  archives

              to  search for class files.  Class path entries are separated by

              colons (:). Specifying -classpath or -cp overrides  any  setting

              of the CLASSPATH environment variable.

              If -classpath and -cp are not used and CLASSPATH is not set, the

              user class path consists of the current directory (.)."

Also please keep all mails on-list.

Try it, as Dave mentioned it probably is a problem with your CLASSPATH.

Try to give us the ouput of `echo $CLASSPATH`.

Hi Maignan,

How do you run your program?

Have you tried with the -cp commandline parameter?

I try to load the jdbc driver by the following code : 

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");


but I raise a ClassNotFoundException.

But my CLASSPATH contains the postgresql-8.1-405.jdbc3.jar


Any ideas ?

Best regards
