I downloaded the driver from Microsoft for JDBC connectivity to Win 2000 SQL server.

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/downloads/2000/jdbc.asp

I then added this to my jboss.jcml
The oracle 9i datasource connects fine but then hangs on the MS SQL datasource. I tested the connection as an alternate test using the ODBC driver. It connects fine so I know my database works ok and the URL is correct.
For those of you that don't know the double name in the URL is for a second instance. SQL 7 and 2000 are installed on the same machine.

It hangs with this
cheFactory
[INFO,JaasSecurityManagerService] startService, SecurityProxyFactory=org.jboss.s
ecurity.SubjectSecurityProxyFactory@b33d0a
[INFO,JaasSecurityManagerService] Started
[INFO,JdbcProvider] Starting
[INFO,JdbcProvider] Started
[INFO,MS SQLSERVER2000] Starting
[INFO,MS SQLSERVER2000] XA Connection pool MS SQLSERVER2000 bound to java:/MS SQ
LSERVER2000


I know that when my TNS listener is down I get the same sort of response from the OracleDS so I believe it can't find the machine. Anybody experience similar problems with SQL 2000??


Hope so and that you know how to fix it.
Thanks
Ron

Then this for ORACLE

And this for MS SQL
