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".

Is the drive mapped already? Do you have the correct permissions?

 

[loneill]

The drive is mapped and all permissions are set correctly

Ok, so I can think of a couple of things. One is, if you have the drive to Diarmuid mapped on your localdrive, just use that path.

Otherwise, when a drive is shared on a windows network, it is not shared as a drive letter but as a name (e.g. mydata or d$). While the drive on Diaramuid may be d: it is not shared that way. This is most likely your issue.
