HTTP Status 500 - Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.7 is not supported by this driver

Question

I am trying to access MS SQL server 2005 from a servlet file. I am using JDBC 4.0 driver. I have already added the JAR files sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbc4.jar<

Answer 1

Here is my Code to connect java to Microsoft sql Server 2012

You only need sqljdbc4.jar that avail on offical Microsoft website. Here is the link:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/2/A/02AAE597-3865-456C-AE7F-613F99F850A8/sqljdbc_4.0.2206.100_enu.exe

It contains 2 jar files, and I am trying to use sqljdbc4.jar. This is the code I am using to connect:

package com.Sql.ConnectDB;

import java.sql.*;
public class DbClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        try{
            **String url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost;databaseName=Student";**//important
            String user="username";
            String pass="password";
            **Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");**//important
            Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pass);
            System.out.println("Conneccted Successfully");
        }catch(Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

}
