The Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server is a Type 4 Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) 4.2 compliant driver that provides robust data access to SQL Server 2017, SQL Server 2016, SQL Server 2014, SQL Server 2012, SQL Server 2008 R2, SQL Server 2008, and Azure SQL Database. There are several third-party JDBC drivers out there for Microsoft Access database, and we recommend UCanAccess - a pure Java JDBC Driver for Access that allows Java developers and JDBC client programs to read/write Microsoft Access databases. You should find a commercial Access JDBC driver. While you're at it, I'd recommend that you save the money you'll spend on a JDBC driver and get a real database. Access might be less production quality than the bridge driver itself. If that wasn't true, there would have been no need for M$ to steal code from Sybase to create SQL Server. Download CData JDBC Driver for Microsoft Access - SQL-based Access to Microsoft Access from JDBC Driver. I have a Tomcat 5.X running and Im trying to connect to a MS Access database, I know I need a JDBC driver from what I can gather from the info I have been reading, my question i) which driver(s) do I need? Ii) Where do i find them? I've been on MS's website and all that comes up is a SQL Server 2000 jdbc driver. Thanks in advance for your time.

The topics in this section provide a general overview of the JDBC driver, including the system requirements needed to use it, how it can be used, and where you can go for more information.

I found contradicting threads one saying we need to deploy Access JDBC driver and another saying no need to deploy JDBC driver for Access. Integrate-pi7.0-with-ms-access-2003-database - Says need to install driver for Access. Problem-when-connecting-to-ms-access-through-jdbc- Says no need to install driver for Access. Dec 29, 2003  If you're saying that you don't think the bridge driver is production ready, I'd agree. You should find a commercial Access JDBC driver. While you're at it, I'd recommend that you save the money you'll spend on a JDBC driver and get a real database.

you don't need to download any driver.
There is one driver that comes with j2sdk. Type 1 Jdbc-Odbc Bridge Driver
Its complete path is...
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
You need to write following code to make a database connection

dsn you have to create from control panel/odbc.

Thanks for your reply Naseem, but I mentioned I'm using Tomcat, but forgot to state I am also using JNDI etc.. hence for I need a .jar file that I put in the ...common/lib folder.
MySQL and other DB's have drivers, I assumed that MS Access would also have one??
Am on the right lines guys?
Thanks

Most people use the JDBC-ODBC bridge, which is built into Java; no seperate driver required.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/faq.html
There are some commercial drivers for MS Access out there; I've never used one and don't know any particular names.

Read Tomcat documentation for that from your http://localhost:8080/.
It provides complete description of jndi datasource. Tomcat provides read only jndi datasource object.
You need to expose your dsn by jndi datasource which you can do from your <Context> tag of Server.xml.
Again you don't need to download any extra driver for that irrespective of how you are getting database connection object.

Hey guys thanks for your responses so far,
Stu - jdbc-odbc is used when your not using JNDI - hence cant use it now that I am wanting to use JNDI
Naseem - I have followed the Tomcat instructions for configurig JNDI, so changed the web.xml and server.xml accordingly [adding the context tag, then resource etc..] still no luck though.
I have a funny feeling that MS Access is not JNDI compatible - I came across this in another javaranch forum:
If there is anybody out there who has got this combination working [MS Access + Tomcat + JNDI], let me know please. Thanks
Oh btw I'm using Tomcat 5.5

On Tomcat 5.5.8, do it like this...
Add the Context tag in the Server.xml within the <Host> tag.

db1 is data source name which you have to create from control panel.
You don't need to put any entry for jndi in your web.xml.
Now with above Context tag in server.xml, here is a code snippet which will return Connection object from Connection pool.

I tested this on my machine, it worked.

Ok guys here's what I have done, I still get an error when I call the

I registerd my DB via control panel and the add to systemDSN (this points to the DB on my Tomcat).
The server.xml is as below (keyt snippets)

[the servlet i'm calling is packagless hence ive used '/', the database is in the root/DB folder]

myDB - is my MS Access Database
My serlvet is as below

I still get an error, the log reads as follow:

Any ideas? Thanks in advance for looking at my questions

what exact version of Tomcat you are using? I mean Tomcat 5.x.x? is it 5.5.8
second create user dsn not system dsn.
third why you are not creating a seperate web application for that with following structure....

Waiting for your reply

Naseem,
Sorry for the late reply I was away for the weekend
Ok the exact Tomcat is 5.5.17,
Now that I've chnaged the DSN from system to user, I get less errors, the error I do get is as follows:

Does this make sense to anyone? Seems like I've not done something, where the context needs to be set?
Thanks in advance, regards

Just I downloaded Tomcat 5.5.17 and it worked on this version under same setting. Same as that of 5.5.8
1. Context tag in server.xml under <Host> tag

2. db1 user datasource name.
3. Invoke Servlet in /ValidationRND/WEB-INF/classes/com/example

4. Mapped it by url pattern *.servlet in web.xml

This much entry I have made. Nothing else.
If you follow these steps, you will be able to insert the data in database by following url...
http://localhost:8080/test/*.servlet

Hey Naseem/ everybody else,
In the previous post I noticed a inconsistency, (it might not be!)

db1 = the DSN name,
resource name = TestDB
In your servlet-code you refer to TestDB
?? If you look at one of your above posts, the name of the resource and DSN name were the same?
--------------------------------------------
I still have the problem above outstanding, I'm temporarily using classforname....etc. I still howevere want to solve this JNDI problem.
So just to go through this step by step
<Context path='/test' docBase='F:NaseemKhanj2ee_projectsValidationRND
what is the /test ?? I have the directory name where my web app is, e.g
'/DB', absolute path is C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 5.5webappsDB
What abt the docBase?? I have the base directory where all the different web applications i'm working on are
e.g. C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationTomcat 5.5webapps
My resources tag in the server.xml <Resource name='jdbc/db1'...
[is this the dsn-name you give your database resource?]
the url reads --> url= 'jdbc:odbc:db1'
My MS Access database is on my desktop and is added via DSN--> system, called db1 - real file name is testMyDb.mdb [DSN --> system, works for classforname�..]
The servlet code is as follow

It all seems ok to me? Why am I then having a problem? Error is something along the lines of JDBC is not bound in the context.
I�ve been reading the web and people advice to create a file called context.xml � is that necessary?
Is this an environmental problem or a coding problem? I call all my servlets directly by enabling the invoker servlet via conf/web.xml
Thanks in advance for your advice/views
Regards
Zein

Just as a side note, be aware that the JDBC/ODBC bridge is not meant to be used in a multi-threaded enviromnent like a web application. It has serious shortcomings in this regard (as does Access itself). Make sure you only ever have a single thread using it.
