Attribute

JVMClasspath (JVMC)

Purpose

Specifies the CLASSPATH for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) used by the driver. The CLASSPATH is the search string the JVM uses to locate the Java jar files the driver needs.

If you do not specify a value, the driver automatically detects the CLASSPATHs for all ODBC drivers installed on your machine and specifies them when launching the JVM.

Valid Values

string

where:

string
specifies the CLASSPATH. Separate multiple jar files by a semi-colon on Windows platforms and by a colon on Linux and UNIX platforms. CLASSPATH values with multiple jar files must be enclosed in curly braces { } when used in a connection string.
If your process employs multiple drivers that use a JVM, the value of the JVM Classpath for all affected drivers must include an absolute path to all the jar files for drivers used in that process. The value specified for this option must be identical for all drivers. For example, if you are using the Salesforce and Cassandra drivers on Windows, you would specify a value of {c:\install_dir\java\lib\cassandra.jar; c:\install_dir\java\lib\sforce.jar} for both drivers. If the value for any of the affected drivers differs from that of the other drivers, the drivers will return an error at connection that the JVM is already running.

Example

On Windows:

{.;c:\install_dir\java\lib\cassandra.jar}

On UNIX:

{.:/home/user1/install_dir/java/lib/cassandra.jar}

Default

The default is an empty string, which means that the driver automatically detects the CLASSPATHs for all ODBC drivers installed on your machine and specifies them when launching the JVM.
