Java Database Connection Problem

Environment:
The hope.class, java application is working under the Visual Café (Data
Base Edition 3.0c) environment using jdbc6_5-1_1.jar (loaded in the
Internal VM in the Environmental Options, as a classpath setting). The
PostgreSQL database (Version 6.5.2) is running on the Sun Sparc
demo.ppc.pims.org. The web server is running Netscape Suitespot 3.5.1
on another Sparc. Our user’s will access the web server using Netscape
Communicator 4.5 or higher from a PC running Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack
4 or 5.

Suitespot Administrator Setup
An additional Directory is made with the Suitespot Administrator
as follows:
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENT DIRECTORY
Prefix /hope
Directory /vol1/HTML/pass

The Suitespot Administrator configuration is:
Primary: Directory /vol1/HTML
Index Filenames: index.html,home.html,index.htm

The following is in the script for starting the Suitespot server, the
https-default “start” script:

CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/export/home/huffmana/postgresql.jar:/export/home/huffmana:

/vol1/HTML/pass:/vol1/HTML/pass/postgresql.jar

I’ve also set the CLASSPATH in the UNIX shell before starting “nohup
postmaster –i”

Java Code
The null pointer occurs at the getConnection statement
Connection con;
con = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:postgresql://demo.ppc.pims.org/cpass",
"postgres",
"postgres");

I’ve tried using the IP address with the same results. Any ideas?
