No suitable driver found for jdbc:db2 with db2jcc4.jar present in web-inf\lib

I am trying to run a simple java web app that connects to a back end DB2 database(IBM dashdb) to get retrieve some data.
I am getting a weird error message when I try to run this application on a ubuntu hosted tomcat 8.5.
I managed to get this application running on a tomcat v8 hosted on Windows.
The actual error message is:
No suitable driver found for jdbc:db2://yp-dashdb......
I don't really understand why this is happening because I have the db2jcc4. in my web-inf\lib folder.
I thought it was something wrong with the library so I created a separate Java app to simply connect and retrieve some data from the database. That one works just fine with the same library.
This is the code used to set up the connection (I trimmed out some of the details).
private Connection conn = null;
conn= DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://yp-dashdb...");
Keep in mind, that this exact same code works in a Standard Java app so the connection details work and there's no typo in the connection info.
Is there something obvious that I'm overlooking here?

After spending some time trying to figure this one out I find out the problem. My drivers were not being registered by DriverManager. The quick fix I found for this was to manually register it before trying to load the driver.
DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver());
This has solved my issue. The way I found out about this was to print out all the registered drivers and print them out. Not the most elegant solution but it helped me find out what I'm missing.
/*
System.out.println("checking for drivers");
Enumeration<Driver> myDrivers = DriverManager.getDrivers();
System.out.println(myDrivers.hasMoreElements());
while(myDrivers.hasMoreElements()){
System.out.println(myDrivers.nextElement().toString());
}
*/

WEB-INF/lib is in your application. It might be so that tomcat needs this driver before your app is loaded? Try putting it into the tomcat's lib folder and restarting...
Here is another question on the same topic: Why must the JDBC driver be put in TOMCAT_HOME/lib folder?

Error connecting to Oracle database using JDBC [duplicate]

I am new to Oracle, and am trying to run a simple example code with Java, but am getting this error when executing the code.. I am able to start up the listener via CMD and am also able to run SQL Plus. Can anyone give me a hand and tell me what I might be doing wrong?
Update:
I am using JDBC.
Database is local, and I actually had it working but it stopped working just today. I'm not really sure why though. Would you mind giving me some procedures to follow by since I don't know much.

Either:
The database isn't running
You got the URL wrong
There is a firewall in the way.
(This strange error message is produced by Oracle's JDBC driver when it can't connect to the database server. 'Network adapter' appears to refer to some component of their code, which isn't very useful. Real network adapters (NICs) don't establish connections at all: TCP protocol stacks do that. It would have been a lot more useful if they had just let the original ConnectException be thrown, or at least used its error message and let it appear in the stack trace.)

I had the same problem, and this is how I fixed it.
I was using the wrong port for my connection.
private final String DB_URL = "jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:orcll"; // 1521 my wrong port
go to your localhost
(my localhost address) : https://localhost:1158/em
login
user name
password
connect as --> normal
Below 'General' click on LISTENER_localhost
look at you port number
Net Address (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1522))
Connect to port 1522
Edit you connection
change port 1521 to 1522.
done

Another thing you might want to check that the listener.ora file matches the way you are trying to connect to the DB. If you were connecting via a localhost reference and your listener.ora file got changed from:
HOST = localhost
to
HOST = 192.168.XX.XX
then this can cause the error that you had unless you update your hosts file to accommodate for this. Someone might have made this change to allow for remote connections to the DB from other machines.

I figured out that in my case, my database was in different subnet than the subnet from where i was trying to access the db.

I had this error when i renamed the pc in the windows-properties. The pc-name must be updated in the listener.ora-file

Most probably you have listener configured wrongly, the hostname you specify in connection string must be the same as in the listener.
First check the Firewall and network related issues.
Check if Oracle Listener service is available and running. If not you may use Oracle Net Configuration Assistant tool to add and register new listener.
If the above steps are ok then you need to configure Oracle Listener appropriately. You may use Oracle Net Manager tool or edit “%ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin\listener.ora” file manually.
There are 2 options that need to be considered carefully:
Listening Locations associated with the Listener – Hostname(IP) and Port in Listening Location must exactly match the ones used in the connection string.
For example, if you use 192.168.74.139 as target hostname, then there must be Listening Location registered with the same IP address.
Also make sure the you use the same SID as indicated in Database Service associated with the Listener.

IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection (CONNECTION_ID=iKQM6lBbSLiArrYuDqud8A==)
if you are facing this issue
1- make sure you have downloaded oracle databases like oracle 11g,19c, 21c, or any latest databases.
2- search for services in your computer or type win+r then services.mis then search for oracleservice you will find orcl or xe or any other sid like oracleserviceorcl;
after that you can test your connection using sql developer, sql plus or cmd

To resolve the Network Adapter Error I had to remove the - in the name of the computer name.

In my case, I needed to specify a viahost and viauser. Worth trying if you're in a complex system. :)

For me the basic oracle only was not installed. Please ensure you have oracle installed and then try checking host and port.

I was having issues with this as well. I was using the jdbc connection string to connect to the database. The hostname was incorrectly configured in the string. I am using Mac, and the same string was being used on Windows machines without an issue. On my connection string, I had to make sure that I had the full url with the appending "organizationname.com" to the end of the hostname.
Hope this helps.

Just try to re-create connection. In my situation one of jdbc connection stopped working for no reason. From console sqlplus was working ok.
It took me 2 hours to realize that If i create the same connection - it works.

Error creating jtds connection

Using jtds 1.2.5 I have this error when I stablish a connection: "No message resource found for message property prop.sokeepalive"
At first, I was using 1.2.2 version but I have this error message. "Error getting jdbc connection: The USE database statement failed because the database collation Serbian_Latin_100_CI_AS is not recognized by older client drivers. Try upgrading the client operating system or applying a service update to the database client software, or use a different collation. See SQL Server Books Online for more information on changing collations."
As solution, I tried to use 1.2.5 version getting the error mentioned at the beggining.
I was looking for hints in jtds documentation, but I can not resolve the problem.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Try running client JVM with -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US -Duser.country=US options.
This would switch to everywhere-supported US locale.
Maybe this easy solution would be acceptable in your case.
At least, this would reveal if the problem is in lack of i18n messages resource bundle for current locale in jtds package, as I guess.
Update
Try to just copy jtds.jar/net/sourceforge/jtds/jdbc/Messages.properties and add it to classpath or right inside jtds.jar as net/sourceforge/jtds/jdbc/Messages_sr_RS.properties.
Some explaining links:
Message bundle choosing process
net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Messages source
http://www.localeplanet.com/java/sr-RS/
Update 2
Message bundle choosing process should switch to default provided resource anyway.
My second guess is that Messages.properties of jtds package gets eclipsed by some unrelated file with the same name.
Check your classpath.
You should be able to debug net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Messages in order to find what's happening on for sure.

I have tried other jtds versions. from 1.2.2 yo 1.3.1 (recompiled to java 1.6) and all of them has the same error.
"Error getting jdbc connection: The USE database statement failed because the database collation Serbian_Latin_100_CI_AS is not recognized by older client drivers. Try upgrading the client operating system or applying a service update to the database client software, or use a different collation. See SQL Server Books Online for more information on changing collations."
Perhaps jdts does not support this collation.

Exception while connecting to DB2 in java using JDBC

I am trying to connect to a db2 database in Java. Below the driver and the connection string and the driver details i am giving
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");
String url="jdbc:db2://hostname:portnumber/databasename";
sourceConnection=DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username","password");
But I am getting the below exception
"COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][JDBC Driver] CLI0615E Error receiving from socket, server is not responding. SQLSTATE=08S01"
I also tried changing the connection string to
String url="jdbc:db2:hostname:portnumber/databasename";
Still it is resulting the same exception above while trying to get the Connection.
And i have tried the below option also using JDBC app driver
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
DB2DataSource db2ds = new DB2DataSource();
db2ds.setServerName("hostname");
db2ds.setPortNumber(portnumber);
db2ds.setDatabaseName("databasename");
db2ds.setUser("username");
db2ds.setPassword("password");
sourceConnection=db2ds.getConnection();
For the above two connection I used the jar "db2java.jar"
And i have tried using the JCC driver:
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver");
String url="jdbc:db2://hostname:portnumber/databasename";
sourceConnection=DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username","password");
For this connection i have added the below jars
1)db2jcc.jar
2)db2jcc_license_cu.jar
This time around I am getting the below error,
"com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.go: [jcc][t4][201][11237][3.57.82] Connection authorization failure occurred.
Reason: Security mechanism not supported. ERRORCODE=-4214, SQLSTATE=28000"
I tried to connect to the same db2 source using "Quest for DB2" tool and the connection was successful.
Am i missing something in the code and is it a problem with DB2 drivers or connection string?
Can someone please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Cause:
If the DB2® instance where InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager is running has the authentication configuration parameter set to DATA_ENCRYPT, you cannot log in to the web console.
Resolving the problem:
Do the following steps:
On the DB2 instance where Optim Performance Manager is running, set the authentication configuration parameter to SERVER by issuing the following command:
db2 update dbm cfg using authentication server
Restart the DB2 instance and InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager.

Your first two attempts were not supposed to work. You're using the JCC driver URL format, so it wouldn't be valid for either "net" or "app" drivers, which are deprecated anyway.
Use the JCC driver (com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver) and the URL format of "jdbc:db2://hostname:portnumber/databasename" and see this technote for the solution to the "Security mechanism not supported" problem. In short, you need to use a supported JDK.

Play! framework - Cannot connect to database

this is the error I get when I'm trying to connect to my local postgresql db:
Cannot connect to database [default]
this is the database configuration. I'm convinced that there is not typo (fat finger error):
db.default.url="postgres://localhost:5432/myproject/"
db.default.user="postgres"
db.default.pass="mypassword"
db.default.driver="org.postgresql.Driver"
db.default.initSQL="SELECT 1"
where is the problem? with pgAdmin I can connect easily
p.s.
I'm using ubuntu. I've noticed that in order to change to postgres user
I must use "su", otherwise it fails changing the current user.
is that has something to do with play! failure to connect my db?
thanks

There might be two things wrong or at least dubious in your setup.
First: The postgres:... URL syntax is not a plain JDBC URL. This format is not understood by the PostgreSQL JDBC driver. See this answer to a similar problem.
Second: You are trying to use the PostgreSQL superuser account for Play. The superuser account should be used only for administrative work, but not "normal" work. Especially not for work which includes public access to the DB via some webfrontend. Any SQL-Injection attack gives the attacker the golden key to your database - including the nuke to wreck your complete DB cluster at once or install any backdoor into you DB server.
So I recommand, that you create a new user which you configure in your Play! settings.
That said: The default password for the postgres user is not set on Ubuntu. This setup allows login to the DB user only from the same OS user. How you can fix this is explained in this answer.
If these two tips don't help: The error you quoted is very vague. There must be more detailed error logs somewhere. Please find them and attach them to your question with the "edit" button.

This is not an answer directly to your question, but I had the same error message and came here via Google. Using Scala Play 2.3, I had
db.default.driver=org.postgresql.Driver
db.default.url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/noob_development"
db.default.logStatements=true
which needed to be
db.default.driver="org.postgresql.Driver"
db.default.url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/noob_development"
db.default.logStatements=true
I accidentally left the quotes around the driver name out. Now it works perfectly.

here is my conf, it works:
db.default.url="jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/dbname"
db.default.driver="org.postgresql.Driver"
just add the jdbc: before postgresql in db.default.url.
