I have set of DB connection statements in my java file which takes the driver name, url, username and password from my property file and then try to make a connection. But I am keep getting error exactly in this try block . My code is 

try {
    Class.forName(properties.getProperty("DB2.database.driver"));
} catch (Exception e) {
    System.err.println("Unable to locate database driver:" + e);             
    return null;
}

The error message is

Unable to locate database `driver:java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

May i know why it is keep getting this error?

  • @StephenC The problem was because of missing DB2 jar. Thanks though. – Sankar Dec 19 '19 at 16:31
  • @ArvindKumarAvinash It worked after i added the required jar in classpath. Thanks. – Sankar Dec 19 '19 at 16:32
