Not able to connect to informix database

I tried to connect to informix database but when trying to test the connction getting the following error :-
com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to init connection for drvr [com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver], connectionString [jdbc:informix-sqli://###.##.##.13:****/ibdev##:INFORMIXSERVER=fusion?user=XXXX&password=#####]

I have copied the "JDBC.4.10.JC2DE " JDBC driver to the /bin folder but no success.

is there anything that i am missing.

(I am able to connect to Oracle db)

Thanks,
David

    The driver should be in "bin\ext" folder. Don't forget to restart.

    Thanks all for taking out time to reply.

    I have the jar file in the /bin/ext folder and when i am trying to test the connection i am getting the following error message.

    Failed to init connection for drvr [com.informix.jdbc.IfxDriver], connectionString [jdbc:informix-sqli://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/xxxdev10 :INFORMIXSERVER=xxxxxx?user=xxxxxx&password=#####]

    I am trying to do the JDBC connectivity using the JDBC step.

    Thanks,
    David

    The error message indicates that the JDBC driver is loaded properly. The problem is probably either due to bad configuration (connection string) or a problem with the database itself, or the network.

    Best regards,
