JDBC Config NOT Displayed in Preferences?
Hi,
I've just dl'd SoapUI v5.6.0 and tried setting up a db connection but when I tried launching the JDBC option in the Preferences, the option is not displayed.
I had this issue previous...

Hello Rich,
I use ReadyAPI 2.7.0 (licensed). In the preferences, I can only register the db drivers to use. Db connections are then defined within the Environments UI.
I also have a copy of SoapUI 5.6.0. I cannot find any way to register drivers or create any sort of connection in the Preferences. Nor do I have an Environments UI, probably because it's unlicensed.
There is the JDBC test step, but this seems somewhat pointless as you cannot select a driver to use. You can type one in and specific a conn string (I cribbed both details from one of my Ready API tests), but when clicking Test Connection, SoapUI says.....
com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to init connection for driver [oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver], connectionString [jdbc:oracle:thin:*******/*****@server:port:db]
Obviously, I've anonymised the above. But without being able to register, or say where the driver is, I cannot see how you can make a db connection.
Hey ChrisA
yeah agree with you - however I know the JDBC used to be available in SoapUI preferences, cos I setup a connection on a version about 18-24months ago.
I have ReadyAPI! installed on my other laptop v3.4.0 and I've been using it since about v1.9 and i remember sometime when I had version v2.x.x the same issue appeared to occur - i.e., - for some reason, the JDBC option was missing from the preferences, so I was wondering if the same issue was occurring in SoapUI as ReadyAPI!
Ta for confirming - I'll give downgrading a shot and keep dropping it until i get a version where it appears again!
nice one
