Before you can use jConnect in your application, load the driver with the following statement:
DriverManager.registerDriver( (Driver)
Class.forName(
"com.sybase.jdbc3.jdbc.SybDriver").newInstance()
);
Using the newInstance method works around issues in some browsers.
As the classes are loaded using Class.forName, the package containing the jConnect driver does not have to be imported using import statements.
When using jConnect 5.5, jconn2.jar must be in your classpath when you run the application. jconn2.jar is located in the classes subdirectory of your jConnect 5.5 installation.
When using jConnect 6.0.5, jconn3.jar must be in your classpath when you run the application. jconn3.jar is located in the classes subdirectory of your jConnect 6.0.5 installation.
