         try {
          Class.forName("com.internetcds.jdbc.tds.Driver");
          java.sql.Connection con = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(url, 
username, password);
         }catch (Exception e){
            throw(new UnavailableException(this, "Database connection 
failure"));
         }

replace url with:
 jdbc:freetds:sqlserver://host:port/database

user/password are for access to sql server, via sql server authentication.

Subject: [freetds] Nullpointer exception


Hello, 

I think I've brought this up before, but I am curious if anyone may have any 
ideas or suggestions.

I have downloaded the latest freetds_jdbc.jar from freetds.org, pointed 
classpath to it etc etc...
When I try to use it, to create a connection, it throws 
java.lang.NullPointerException
java.sql.Exception

I have jdk 1.3 installed, running on win2k.

If anyone knows what it is that I'm missing here, please let me know. Thanks.
