Trouble Shooting

Cannot create JDBC driver

problem

00:50:18 [tomcat-http--4] [DEBUG] [o.h.e.transaction.spi.AbstractTransactionImpl   ] - begin
Cannot create JDBC driver of class 'net.sf.log4jdbc.DriverSpy' for connect URL 'jdbc:log4jdbc:h2:mem:projectName;MODE=PostgreSQL'
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver    

Application server couldn't find the jdbc driver. H2 is pre-configured as default driver.

solution

cp $HOME/.m2/repository/com/h2database/h2/x.x.x/h2-x.x.x.jar $STS_HOME/vfabric-tc-server-developer-x.x.x.RELEASE/tomcat-x.x.x.RELEASE/lib/

Add JVM option -XX:PermSize=256m. In case of tc server, this is pre-configured.
