I have some problems with jtds.

I'm using Hibernate, Tomcat 5.5 on Linux Red Hat Server, SQL Server 2005 with WIndows Server

I save the library into Web-iNF/lib and i'm using the version jtds-1.2.2

I got the Error Message

16:56:17,561 ERROR JDBCExceptionReporter:78 - Cannot load JDBC driver class 'net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver'

can some one explain what i'm doing wrong?

Here the connection definition. 

<Resource name="pr/jdbc/dsConn" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="example" password="test1234" driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/example" />

Can someone help me with this issue?

best regards

Sounds like you're just missing the jar file from your classpath. Unfortunately you haven't told us anything about that side of things. – Jon Skeet Jun 19 '12 at 12:45

If your directory is really called Web-iNF/lib, that may cause problems. It should be WEB-INF/lib – Disco 3 Jun 19 '12 at 12:48
Not related to your problem: But are you aware that Tomcat 5.5 is end-of-live September 2012. You should really think about upgrading. There is also a newer version of jTDS available (1.2.5) – a_horse_with_no_name Jun 19 '12 at 12:55
Had you added this .jar file to your Tomcat's classpath before continuing ? – nIcE cOw Jun 19 '12 at 13:15
if you think you added the jar, you could check if this driver class (net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver) actually is inside the jar – Tom Jun 19 '12 at 13:41
