Your URL should be jdbc sqlserver   server port DatabaseName dbname  and Class name should be like com microsoft sqlserver jdbc SQLServerDriver  Use MicrosoftSQL Server JDBC Driver 2 0

You can try like below with sqljdbc4-2 0 jar    public void getConnection   throws ClassNotFoundException  SQLException  IllegalAccessException  InstantiationException           Class forName  com microsoft sqlserver jdbc SQLServerDriver   newInstance            String url    jdbc sqlserver    lt SERVER IP gt   lt PORT NO gt  databaseName     DATABASE NAME          Connection conn   DriverManager getConnection url  USERNAME  PASSWORD           System out println  DB Connection started            Statement sta   conn createStatement            String Sql    select   from TABLE NAME           ResultSet rs   sta executeQuery Sql           while  rs next                  System out println rs getString  COLUMN NAME

Following is a simple code to read from SQL database  Database names is  database1   Table name is  table1   It contain two columns  uname  and  pass   Dont forget to add  sqljdbc4 jar  to your project  Download sqljdbc4 jar  public class NewClass        public static void main String   args             Connection conn   null          String dbName    database1           String serverip  192 168 100 100           String serverport  1433           String url    jdbc sqlserver     serverip    SQLEXPRESS   serverport   databaseName   dbName             Statement stmt   null          ResultSet result   null          String driver    com microsoft sqlserver jdbc SQLServerDriver           String databaseUserName    admin           String databasePassword    root           try               Class forName driver  newInstance                conn   DriverManager getConnection url  databaseUserName  databasePassword               stmt   conn createStatement                result   null              String pa us              result   stmt executeQuery  select   from table1                  while  result next                      us result getString  uname                    pa   result getString  pass                                  System out println us      pa                              conn close              catch  Exception e                e printStackTrace

For someone looking to solve same by using maven  Add below dependency in POM    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt com microsoft sqlserver lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt mssql-jdbc lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 7 0 0 jre8 lt  version gt   lt  dependency gt    And use below code for connection   String connectionUrl    jdbc sqlserver   localhost 1433 databaseName master user sa password your password    try       System out print  Connecting to SQL Server             try  Connection connection   DriverManager getConnection connectionUrl                    System out println  Done             catch  Exception e        System out println        e printStackTrace        Look for this link for other CRUD type of queries

I was having the same error  but had a proper connection string   My problem was that the driver was not being used  therefore was optimized out of the compiled war   Be sure to import the driver   import com microsoft sqlserver jdbc SQLServerDriver    And then to force it to be included in the final war  you can do something like this   Class forName  com microsoft sqlserver jdbc SQLServerDriver      That line is in the original question   This will also work   SQLServerDriver driver   new SQLServerDriver
