[opencms-dev] URGENT - Facing problem while installing OpenCms 9.0.1 with MS SQL Server 2014

[Sharad Jain]

Hi, 



I’ve got a problem with OpenCms and the MS SQL JDBC driver. I changed the 
opencms.properties file to use the Microsoft JDBC driver, but I still get 
an exception:



Error while loading driver: [com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver, 
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver]



java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
[com/microsoft/jdbc/sqlserver/SQLServerDriver, 
com/microsoft/jdbc/sqlserver/SQLServerDriver]

------------------------------------------- 

java.lang.NullPointerException 

------------------------------------------- 





I've tried a couple of different ways to get OpenCMS to find the Microsoft 
driver, e.g. placed the jar files in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/ directory and 
altered the environment variable CLASSPATH to include the jar files. I 
modified the Tomcat shortcut to include the classpath (-Djava.class.path), 
but nothing worked.





Any suggestions? 



Thanks & Regards,
