com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver not found error

Question

I am trying to connect to my SQL Server 2008 database from Java and I\'m having the same problem from this thread.

String userName = \"xxxx\";
String password =          


        

Answer 1

For me it was a wrong maven dependency deceleration, so here is the correct way:

for sqljdbc4 use: sqljdbc4 dependency

    com.microsoft.sqlserver
    sqljdbc4
    4.0

for sqljdbc42 use: sqljdbc42 dependency

    com.microsoft.sqlserver
    sqljdbc42
    6.0.8112
