Strange, I wouldn't think so, but then I haven't used a raw servlet for so long I have no idea.
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
I too am suspicious. But the vagaries of javax are daunting. But if I comment it out, as just now, “No suitable driver found...”. I was days playing with configuration and such think that this very specific error message was telling me my CLASSPATH was wrong.
I wonder if I have an old javax installation (which I put in place just recently).
I’m using javax.servlet-api-3.1.0.jar
