Maybe you had the same naming issue I found (see below).

Subject: JDBC documentation error
Hi Peter,
I'm just getting started with postgres and JDBC. I wanted to mention
a documentation error that might cause considerable pain for other
newbies like me :)
You have:
In the first method, your code implicitly loads the driver using the
Class.forName() method. For Postgres, you would use:
Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");
In using this, my application kept crashing (of course it should have
given me an error message, but for some reason it just crashed). I
finally got things working by changing it to
Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
Thanks for all your work,
John DeSoi, Ph.D.
