Hi there,

I downloaded the freetds_jdbc.jar file and placed its location in the
CLASSPATH.  I wrote a simple test class that tries to instantiate a
Connection object to a SQLServer7.0 database but keep getting the
following error:

Exception- java.lang.NullPointerException

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Here's the simple src code:

===========================================================
package webtutor.dbdata;

import java.sql.*;

public class TestFreeDTS
{
        public static void main (String[] args)
        {
                Connection con = null;
                try
                { 
                    Class.forName("com.internetcds.jdbc.tds.Driver");
                        con =
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:freetds:sqlserver://172.16.12.112:1433/webtutor_v2;user=webtutor_sa;password=LAs64kj9","","");

               }
               catch (Exception e)
               {
                    System.err.println("<error> trying to get Connection 
object:
" +e);
               }
        }
}
