1. Re: Problems with informix
echav Apr 14, 2005 1:04 PM (in response to echav)Problem solved, Jboss 3.2.7 seems to work with Informix JDBC 2.21 JC4
I wonder why informix JDBC 3.0 JC1 didn't work, maybe in JBoss 4.
There should be a JDBC versions for JBoss, it would save a lot of time. -
2. Re: Problems with informix
lafr Apr 17, 2005 2:00 PM (in response to echav)With older version of Informix JDBC it was enough to put ifxjdbc.jar into $JBOSS_HOME/server/?/lib.
With 3.0 driver I got same or similar problems and found out, that I also have to put ifxjdbcx.jar into the lib-dir. -
3. Re: Problems with informix
jbrow May 4, 2005 3:05 PM (in response to echav)I don't know if this is related, but I'm having a similar problem trying to use JDBC 3.0JC1 under Java Web Start where it throws a class cast exception.
I believe they changed the Informix Driver to use the single-parameter version of Class.forName() instead of the three-parameter version that allows the ClassLoader to be passed in. Therefore, if ifxjdbc[x].jar was not loaded by the system ClassLoader, a ClassCastException is thrown.
We don't have paid support at IBM (therefore, we can't even report a problem), although I'm pursuing other channels. If any of you guys has access, you might try reporting the problem to IBM.
I'd love to get this issue resolved. -

frankgrimes Jul 28, 2005 1:58 PM (in response to echav)FYI, 3.00JC2 seems to have resolved the ifxjdbc.jar dependency on ifxjdbcx.jar:
From the release notes's list of fixed bugs:
"171425 IFXJDBCX.JAR IS NOW REQUIRED. JAVA.LANG.NOCLASSDEFFOUNDERROR: COM/INFORMIX/JDBCX/IFXXAREUSABLECONNECTION"
It's available here:
