I am trying to add MS SQL driver dependency in my POM.xml file and the following is the dependency.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
</dependency>
but I get this exception
Missing artifact com.microsoft.sqlserver:sqljdbc4:jar:4.0
I really don't understand the issue.
This question is related to
sql-server
spring
maven
pom.xml
just add
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.0</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
I had the similar problem and solved it by doing following.
* Next-->Fill the following details
Artifact file:
path of the jar you downloaded (Ex: E:\lib\sqljdbc4.jar in my case)
Group Id:
com.microsoft.sqlserver
Artifact Id:
sqljdbc4
Version:
4.0
It is not too hard. I have not read the license yet. However I have proven this works. You can copy sqljdbc4 jar file to a network share or local directory. Your build.gradle should look like this :
apply plugin: 'java'
//apply plugin: 'maven'
//apply plugin: 'enhance'
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
version = '1.0'
//library versions
def hibernateVersion='4.3.10.Final'
def microsoftSQLServerJDBCLibVersion='4.0'
def springVersion='2.5.6'
def log4jVersion='1.2.16'
def jbossejbapiVersion='3.0.0.GA'
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven{url "file://Sharedir/releases"}
}
dependencies {
testCompile group: 'junit', name: 'junit', version: '4.11'
compile "org.hibernate:hibernate-core:$hibernateVersion"
compile "com.microsoft.sqlserver:sqljdbc4:$microsoftSQLServerJDBCLibVersion"
}
task showMeCache << {
configurations.compile.each { println it }
}
under the sharedir/releases directory, I have directory similar to maven structure which is \sharedir\releases\com\microsoft\sqlserver\sqljdbc4\4.0\sqljdbc4-4.0.jar
good luck.

You can also create a project repository. It's useful if more developers are working on the same project, and the library must be included in the project.
First, create a repository structure in your project's lib directory, and then copy the library into it. The library must have following name-format: <artifactId>-<version>.jar
<your_project_dir>/lib/com/microsoft/sqlserver/<artifactId>/<version>/
Create pom file next to the library file, and put following information into it:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<modelVersion>4.2.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.2</version>
</project>
At this point, you should have this directory structure:
<your_project_dir>/lib/com/microsoft/sqlserver/sqljdbc4/4.2/sqljdbc4-4.2.jar
<your_project_dir>/lib/com/microsoft/sqlserver/sqljdbc4/4.2/sqljdbc4-4.2.pom
Go to your project's pom file and add new repository:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>Project repository</id>
<url>file://${basedir}/lib</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Finally, add a dependency on the library:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
<version>4.2</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

It seems like the library can be obtained from publicly available repository. @see nirmal's and Jacek Grzelaczyk's answers for more details.

Currently Maven has a convenient target install
which allow you to deploy an existing package into a project / file repository without the need of creating POM files manually. It will generate those files for you.
mvn install:install-file \
-Dfile=sqljdbc4.jar \
-DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver \
-DartifactId=sqljdbc4 \
-Dversion=4.2 \
-Dpackaging=jar \
-DlocalRepositoryPath=${your_project_dir}/lib
Microsoft recently open sourced their jdbc driver.
You can now find the driver on maven central:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.sqlserver/mssql-jdbc -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>6.1.0.jre8</version>
</dependency>
or for java 7:
<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.microsoft.sqlserver/mssql-jdbc -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>6.1.0.jre7</version>
</dependency>
The above answer only adds the sqljdbc4.jar to the local repository. As a result, when creating the final project jar for distribution, sqljdbc4 will again be missing as was indicated in the comment by @Tony regarding runtime error.
Microsoft (and Oracle and other third party providers) restrict the distribution of their software as per the ENU/EULA. Therefore those software modules do not get added in Maven produced jars for distribution. There are hacks to get around it (such as providing the location of the 3rd party jar file at runtime), but as a developer you must be careful about violating the licensing.
A better approach for jdbc connectors/drivers is to use jTDS, which is compatible to most DBMS's, more reliable, faster (as per benchmarks), and distributed under GNU license. It will make your life much easier to use this than trying to pound the square peg into the round hole following any of the other techniques above.
If you are having some issue when including dependency for 6.1.0.jre7 from @nirmals answer in https://stackoverflow.com/a/41149866/1570834, in your pom with commons-codec/ azure-keyvault I prefer going with this:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
<artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
<version>6.2.2.jre7</version>
</dependency>
For self-containing Maven project I usually installing all external jar dependencies into project's repository. For SQL Server JDBC driver you can do:
local-repo
in your Maven projectsqljdbc42.jar
into local-repo
folderlocal-repo
folder run mvn deploy:deploy-file -Dfile=sqljdbc42.jar -DartifactId=sqljdbc42 -DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver -DgeneratePom=true -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=6.0.7507.100 -Durl=file://.
to deploy JAR into local repository (stored together with your code in SCM)sqljdbc42.jar
and downloaded files can be deletedpom.xml
and add reference to project's local repository:
xml
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>parent-local-repository</id>
<name>Parent Local repository</name>
<layout>default</layout>
<url>file://${basedir}/local-repo</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
Now you can run your project everywhere without any additional configurations or installations.You can use another driver
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.jtds</groupId>
<artifactId>jtds</artifactId>
<version>1.3.1</version>
</dependency>
and in xml
<bean id="idNameDb" class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
<property name="driverClassName" value="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver" />
<property name="url" value="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://[ip]:1433;DatabaseName=[name]" />
<property name="username" value="user" />
<property name="password" value="password" />
</bean>
