Hi I’m developing a J2EE project which has to do with a DB2 – JDBC connection seemingly the classpath is wreckin’ it all since when launching:

Class.forName(driverName);

it throws
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver exception

I ‘ve set up the classpath which the way I assume it could be and no luck
The IDE I’m using is eclipse-myeclipse
and I just added db2java.zip to the build path
1)placed this ZIP in WEB-INF/lib project
2)added ZIP to classpath with add jars command

and it really shows as an added zip but I just can’t get through.
db2java.zip is supposed to be 7.2 driver

any Idea?

You need to add it to your app server’s path so at runtime the driver can be resolved. I’m assuming you are using Tomcat, but either way, navigate to your connector’s settings and then go to the Paths settings, from there click “Add” next to “Append to classpath” and go add your driver ZIP/JAR file, then restart your app server, everything should work.
