You probably need to make the connections through registry writes. I would examine the registry at each step, as you move from finding candidates to actually making the connection *manually*

Check out the Windows docs too. Perhaps the following might be of help:<br />

'm trying to make an ODBC connection in Java through Windows ODBC Manager. I have managed to read the registry to get a listing of System DSNs and once a selection is made by the user I read the &quot;HostMachine&quot; parameter in the registry associated with the selected SystemDSN and from there I want to make that ODBC connection. I have tried the DriverManager getConnection method but it doesn't seem to work! Any ideas PLZ??!<br />
<br />
Please note that I want to access the servers through their associated IP addresses and less likely urls, hence (HostMachine)!<br />
<br />
Also each of these System DSNs are associated with a driver that would need to be used to connect its related data source!<br />

Making an ODBC connection through System DSN set up under Windows ODBC Data Source Administrator?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
