JSP - Database Connections (+) gret'd out - CS4

Hi,

I'm hoping someone maybe able to shed some light on the below issue.

Issue - When I open the the database panel up in Dreamweaver CS4 all the items are check that need to be in place to allow for a database connection, however, the (+) to select a driver to create the connection is greyed out.

What I have:

  • I have Tomcat installed and functioning correctly on my personal laptop (Wws XP).
  • I put a copy of the MS SQL Server JDBC driver in the Dreamweaver JDBC directory (configuration\JDBCDrivers) and within (common\lib) directory of Tomcat.
  • Connection screen is seems to be correctly setup:
    • In an effort to make a connection I hand coded a database connection within the website which works great. So I know the app is setup correctly and Tomcat is working with the JDBC driver.

Thanks,

Travis

As announced by Adobe in August 2007, JSP server behaviors are among the features deprecated in Dreamweaver CS4. JSP and ASP.NET are no longer supported. I believe the server models have been left in the site definition for testing server so that you can still test pages created in previous versions of Dreamweaver, but you can no longer create or edit JSP or ASP.NET server behaviors and database connections.
