Using java 1.8, postgresql-42.1.4.jar, embedded tomcat 9 It appears to me that I need to make the call
"Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver)" when the entry is in a
servlet. Is this expected, within a servlet, or is this just post
hoc ergo propter hoc at it finest and I changed something
else (wittingly or not). Same code outside of servlet does not
need the forced loading of the class and the manual claims it's
not need after java 1.6 |
