connecting to mapped drive

[loneill]

Hi, I am using interbase database and java server pages. I understand that you can access Interbase over a mapped drive if you have interbase installed also on that drive. I am trying to connect using the following lines of code:

Class.forName("interbase.interclient.Driver"
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:interbase://Diarmuid/E:/Wdesign.gdb","SYSDBA","masterkey"

Yet I have the following error:

javax.servlet.ServletException: [interclient] Communication error: A socket exception occurred while trying to establish a socket connection to server Diarmuid.
The message of the SocketException is "Connection refused: connect".

What gave you the idea you could connect over a mapped drive? You don't "connect" to a file - you connect to a running server process.

With the InterClient driver, you connect to the server where you have InterBase running, and you need the 'inter server' - the server part of InterClient too.
