* still the driver and IE5 problem

Hi,
I tried out the new driver ( thanks Pete! ) but - I am sorry
that I must tell - it still does not work.
Interesting is: The M$-VM seems to find the driver
(status bar shows "loading Driver.class") but does not recog.
it as suitable. (SQLEx: No suitable driver found)
I will now try a combination of IE4 + SUNs Plugin and report.
I still would be pleased if anyone knows a solution. Time is
passing by .. :-) and the system should go public at the end
of the week.
Greetings from Austria

Can you run the following:
java -version
and let me know what it's output is?

Ignore me, as it's a browser :-)
I'm now wondering if it's one of two things:
* IE5 is returning a non standard version string
* IE5 is not reading the .jar file
Try extracting the class files out of the jar file, to see if that
solves the second possibility.

Exact text in the java console:
"java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver"
(from the M$-VM)
> * IE5 is not reading the .jar file
For a short time before the exception I can see in the status line
reading or loading Driver.class

I bever did it in an other way.
I have the applet in ~/applet/
the "start" html also there and the driver in ~/applet/postgresql/ etc.
Thanks for help,

On the Linux box where I compiled the applet and also tried to compile
a version of the driver (out of the sourcetree)
java version "1.2"
Classic VM (build Linux_JDK_1.2_pre-release-v1, native threads, sunwjit)
I suppose that was what you meant?

Apologies if this comes to late for some.
Using the 6.5.1 postgrsql release under FreeBSD and IE4, using jdk 1.1.8,
I ran into the same problem that Georg Ritter ran into:

A little web searching turned up an answer that works for
me (at least with IE4) at:
http://www.software.ibm.com/data/db2/java/v5/faq.html#q7
An excerpt:
Even if the driver is loaded properly, it may not be initialized.
This can happen if the Java interpreter does not automatically
initialize one the "DB2Driver"
classes upon loading. Some recent versions of the JDK for AIX
and OS/2 have this problem. For these, the usual
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
is not enough. One has to use:
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver").newInstance();
The dummy instantiation starts the needed class initialization.
No flames, please -- I've no idea what the "correct" behavior for the
browser is.
So: Georg, you may be able to fix your problem by putting ".newInstance()"
in the right place this doesn't seem to harm appletviewer and
Netscape (although you should check, of course).
Peter -- you may want to change your driver so that it does a newInstance(),
or change your README like this:

introduce the driver using the following snippet of code:
try {
! Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");
} catch(Exception e) {
// your error handling code goes here
}
Remember, this method restricts your code to just the postgresql database.
