No suitable driver found for jdbc:ucanaccess://C:\Users\Asim Iqbal\Documents\PersonInfo.accdb

Question

I have to face this error:

No suitable driver found for jdbc:ucanaccess://C:\Users\Asim Iqbal\Documents\PersonInfo.accdb org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.handleJspException(JspServletWrapper.java:555)

in my JSP project. But when I run PersonDAO.java separately, it works properly. But, by using Bean I have to face this type of error. These files are as followed.

PersonDAO.java

import java.util.*;

import java.sql.*;

import java.io.*;
public class PersonDAO implements Serializable  {
private PreparedStatement stmt;

public ArrayList pList;
String url="jdbc:ucanaccess://C:\\Users\\Asim Iqbal\\Documents\\PersonInfo.accdb";

Connection   conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);

public PersonDAO() throws SQLException{

    establishConnection();
}
private void establishConnection() throws SQLException
{
    String url1="jdbc:ucanaccess://C:\\Users\\Asim Iqbal\\Documents\\PersonInfo.accdb";
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url1);
}

public ArrayList getPerson(String name) throws SQLException { 
    PersonInfo pInfo=new PersonInfo();

    pList=new ArrayList();

    String sql="SELECT * FROM Person WHERE name=?";

    stmt=conn.prepareStatement(sql);

    stmt.setString(1,name);

    ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery();
     String add,n;

     String p;

    while(rs.next()){

        n=rs.getString("Name");
        add=rs.getString("Address");

        p=rs.getString("PhoneNumber");

        pInfo.setName(n);

        pInfo.setAddress(add);

        pInfo.setpNumber(p);

        pList.add(pInfo);
    }
    return pList;

    }
 }

saveperson.jsp

</head>
    <jsp:useBean id="pDAO" class="Person.PersonDAO" scope = "request" /> 

    <jsp:useBean id="personBean" class="Person.PersonInfo" scope="request"/> 

    <jsp:setProperty name="personBean" property="name" param="name"/>

    <jsp:setProperty name="personBean" property="address" param="address"/>

    <jsp:setProperty name="personBean" property="pNumber" param="pNumber"/>
    <%
     pDAO.setPerson(personBean);
    %>
    <center>

    <h1>You have successfully add the record!</h1>
    <h4>  
          <a href="index.html" > Add another Person Record </a> <br>
          <br><br>
          <a href="searchperson.jsp" > Search Person </a>    
      </h4> 
    </center>

Please tell me where I am doing wrong..

Solution

You must add the ucanaccess jar to the classpath and call Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver"); before you try to open the connection (once is enough) for the DriverManager to find the driver with that url, see here.

I add the jar file in the class path, also it works properly individually and give the requires result. But when I use this file as java Bean then give this error.. Florian Schaetz

The driver class registration is missing in this case. You need to do the initialization sometime before first use.
