Hi,

I am using Postgres 8.2 version database and *postgresql-8.2-504.jdbc3.jar*
driver.

Snippet of code:


*String postgresDataSource = **"org.postgresql.Driver"**;*

**

*Class dataSourceClass = Class.forName(postgresDataSource);*

*dataSource = (DataSource) dataSourceClass.newInstance();*

**

*I am getting *ClassCast exception when i try to run the code in my java
application.

Please resolve this problem.



regards

Raghu

org.postgresql.Driver doesn't implement the javax.sql.DataSource interface.

If you want a DataSource, just use "new
org.postgresql.ds.PGSimpleDataSource()" or "new
org.postgresql.ds.PGPoolingDataSource()" if you want pooling.

If you don't want to use a DataSource, you should be doing:

Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbcostgresql:...." );
