I have MSSQL 2008 installed on my local PC, and my Java application needs to connect to a MSSQL database. I am a new to MSSQL and I would like get some help on creating user login for my Java application and getting connection via JDBC. So far I tried to create a user login for my app and used following connection string, but I doesn't work at all. Any help and hint will be appreciated.
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433/dotcms

There are mainly two ways to use JDBC - using Windows authentication and SQL authentication. SQL authentication is probably the easiest. What you can do is something like:
after adding sqljdbc4.jar to the build path.
For Window authentication you can do something like:
and then add the path to sqljdbc_auth.dll as a VM argument (still need sqljdbc4.jar in the build path).
Please take a look here for a short step-by-step guide showing how to connect to SQL Server from Java using jTDS and JDBC should you need more details. Hope it helps!
