For some reason, when I tried to establish a connection to an MSSQL 
database using the freetds JDBC driver under the JDK1.3 VM it causes a 
NullPointerException in the Constructor.  It works fine under the JDK1.2.2 
VM - why would there be a difference?  Does the new JDK use a different 
mechanism to connect to a database?
I have reverted back to JDK1.2.2 because of deadlines, but I would like to 
take advantage of the JDK1.3 improvements notable the Authentication and 
Authorization services.

Any ideas?
