Thanks Andrus
I got through that exception but now am getting another one where the
org.apache.cayenne.conn.DriverDataSource is trying to load the jdbc
driver class. I looked in the source and see that it is similar to the
other code we were having issues with so I'm wondering if its the same
thing. Here is the code in question where the exception is happening:
private static Driver loadDriver(String driverClassName) throws
SQLException {
Class<?> driverClass;
try {
driverClass = Class.forName(driverClassName, true, Thread
.currentThread()
.getContextClassLoader());
}
catch (Exception ex) {
throw new SQLException("Can not load JDBC driver named '"
+ driverClassName
+ "': "
+ ex.getMessage());
}
...
And here is the stack from the exception:
INFO: *** Connecting: FAILURE.
java.sql.SQLException: Can not load JDBC driver named
'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver': com/mysql/jdbc/Driver
at
org
.apache.cayenne.conn.DriverDataSource.loadDriver(DriverDataSource.java:
62)
at
org
.apache
.cayenne
.conn.DriverDataSource.setDriverClassName(DriverDataSource.java:256)
As you can see, driverClass is again using getContextClassLoad from
Thread,currentThread(). Not 100% sure that its the issue but it seems
reasonable. Also, I have verified that the mysql jars are in my
classpath. Also, modeler seems to see it fine and is able to access my
database.
