'couldn't connect to database' in seam generate entities wit

jadamsal Mar 25, 2009 11:04 AM

I've started playing with jboss tools 3 in eclipse 3.4.2 and tried to setup some simple seam projects to get familiar with the process.

I was able to generate some simple CRUD against a mysql server by following the instructions at http://docs.jboss.org/tools/3.0.0.GA/en/seam/html/crud_database_application.html, but I haven't been able to get the same example to work for a sql server 2000 database. When I use 'seam generate entities', it give the error 'couldn't connect to database' when refreshing to select a schema. The Data Source Explorer is able to navigate the the connection correctly, so I'm at a loss for what's causing the problem. I've tried changing the jdbc drivers and connection parameters without luck.

Is this a problem anyone has run into before, or is there somewhere in eclipse I can look to get more information out of the 'couldn't connection to database' message?

Thanks for your help!

Is there anything in the error log view ?

Anything under the "Details" button in the error dialog that might show up ?

Thanks, that was the hint I needed :).

The error log showed the dialog had an issue with paths containing spaces. I had the workspace on my desktop and the "c:\documents and settings" path was confusing it. Moving the workspace under "c:\" worked like a charm.
