Please ask your question with more precision. Are you talking about using JDBC from within Domino, e.g. a Domino server agent written in Java? Or using it to access Notes data, e.g. via NotesSQL? Or something else? Is there some reason that you believe there’s been a change? I’m wondering why you’re picking this particular thing to ask about.

Well I’m creating a web app which uses JDBC to connect to the Domino server. On Domino 5 we must use an IBM provided .jar which in turn uses some .dll’s in the Notes client to connect to Domino. I was wondering if anything has changed in thiws respest in Domino 6.

Thanks

FYI, you don’t have to use the JDBC driver, which as you noted requires the presence of a Notes client (still true in Notes 6.x). You can also use CORBA to read from/write to Notes databases from a standalone Java application in which case you only need the NCSO.jar file in your classpath.dgg

Well there’s a pretty crucial difference in Java between R5 and ND6 (1.1.8 versus Java 2 version 1.3.1), but without more information I can’t tell you more. What is it you’re trying to do?
