Background:
I am developing in Eclipse and using Struts 2 framework to build and deploy .war file to JBoss. 4.2.3GA
There is an action class that I am using to insert a user into a database table - pretty simple stuff http://cache-www.coderanch.com/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif
I get the following exception for executeUpdate() method.
DEBUG com.opensymphony.xwork2.DefaultActionInvocation.debug:68 - Executing action method = execute
[STDOUT] >>>>>>>>>>insert into catNav.USERS values('mm', 'pp', 88, 'mm.pp@yahoo.com');
[STDOUT] java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Could not find file 'C:\java\jboss-4.2.3.GA\bin\catNav.mdb'.
I am provide the full path to the database .mdb file but the exception is referring to file in jboss folder, which is does no exist. I am struggling to find a solution to resolve this. The path, using either \\ or / file separators is validated as an exception occurs if invalid path is defined.
The code is below; I have the same code in a standalone Java program that executes successfully (I verify row was added) .... but fails when running on JBoss :(
public String execute() throws Exception {
//call Service class to store personBean's state in database
final String dbName = "catNav";
Connection con = null; // The connection to the database.
Statement stmt = null;
// The following code can throw errors, so they must be caught.
try{
// First, tell Java what driver to use and where to find it.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// Next, create a connection to your data source.
// Specify that you are using the ODBC-JDBC Bridge.
// And specify the data source name from ODBC.
String database =
"jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/Users/mp/Documents/Work/JDBC/catNav.mdb;";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "", "");
/* also tried:
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:catNavDB");
*/
// Create an SQL statement.
stmt = con.createStatement();
// Execute some SQL to create a table in your database.
// If the table already exists, an exception is thrown!
String sqlSt = "insert into " + dbName +
".USERS " +
"values('" + personBean.getFirstName() + "', " + // FIRST_NAME
"'" + personBean.getLastName() + "', " + // LAST_NAME
personBean.getAge() + ", " + // AGE
"'" + personBean.getEmail() + "'); " ; // EMAIL
// display SQL statment
System.out.println (">>>>>>>>>>" + sqlSt );
stmt.executeUpdate( sqlSt);
}
// Catch any exceptions that are thrown.
etc.
