RE: Another Problem Connecting to JDBC7.0

Hi,

I think one of the solutions may be to uninstall jdk1.3 and install
jdk1.2.2. I had to do that to get my stuff working. Remember, the
jdbc7.0-1.2 driver notation means you are connecting to jdk1.2, not jdk1.3.
Since you have j2sdk1.2 also, check whether /usr/bin/java points to your
jdk1.3 or jdk1.2. And if there is no /usr/bin/java or /usr/bin/javac, create
soft links for them and point them to your jdk1.2

Hope this Helps..

Raman.
