Yippee!  The problem was my jar file.  I was using freetds_jdbc.jar.  The one that works for me is freetds_jdbc.snapshot.jar.  That one works from both a standalone java app and my jsp bean.  Thanks everyone for  your help.

I later tried re-downloading the file again just to make sure I didn't get a corrupt copy of the file and that didn't work. I tried to make a standalone java app, but I'm not sure how to do that; I come from a JSP type of application background. If you could send me a small sinipit of code to try out as a java app, I could test it that way. I feel like I'm doing something wrong that is really simple. I'm using Tomcat as my JSP engine and have the jar file in my tomcat/lib directory with is specified in my path. Any other ideas? Further below is the error I am getting
