JDBC4.0版本后,不用再显式注册驱动
一般写JDBC代码的时候都会有这么一句代码:
1 Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
这是加载数据库的注册驱动。但是从JDBC4.0后,就不用显式加载了,也就是人家DriverManager类自动帮你加载了,这句代码你不用写了,直接获取数据库连接就行。
可以看下:java.sql.DriverManager 类中的注释:
*<P> The <code>DriverManager</code> methods <code>getConnection</code> and * <code>getDrivers</code> have been enhanced to support the Java Standard Edition * <a href="../../../technotes/guides/jar/jar.html#Service%20Provider">Service Provider</a> mechanism. JDBC 4.0 Drivers must * include the file <code>META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver</code>. This file contains the name of the JDBC drivers * implementation of <code>java.sql.Driver</code>. For example, to load the <code>my.sql.Driver</code> class, * the <code>META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver</code> file would contain the entry: * <pre> * <code>my.sql.Driver</code> * </pre> * * <P>Applications no longer need to explicitly load JDBC drivers using <code>Class.forName()</code>. Existing programs * which currently load JDBC drivers using <code>Class.forName()</code> will continue to work without * modification. <P>When the method <code>getConnection</code> is called, * the <code>DriverManager</code> will attempt to * locate a suitable driver from amongst those loaded at * initialization and those loaded explicitly using the same classloader * as the current applet or application.
着重看这一句话:
1 * <P>Applications no longer need to explicitly load JDBC drivers using <code>Class.forName()</code>. Existing programs 2 * which currently load JDBC drivers using <code>Class.forName()</code> will continue to work without 3 * modification.
上面的注释的意思就是说,JDBC4.0后必须包含:the file <code>META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver</code>这个文件,并且文件中必须有如下代码:
<code>my.sql.Driver</code>
我看了下我数据库jar包下对应的目录,确实有这个文件,而这个文件的内容确实有这段代码:
在获取连接的时候,会自动的查找合适的驱动类,并初始化当前使用相同驱动的类。
所以啊,就不劳我们费心自己手动加载注册驱动了:Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver);不写也罢,当然,你想写也可以加上。
但是在servlet类中的话,还是写上吧,下午测试,写这段代码,报:找不到合适的驱动的错误了。
