Before you can execute your compiled JDBC applications, you must set up your environment to point to the required JDBC resources.
               
               	 
               
 
                  		
                  - Add the appropriate JDBC driver file to your system's CLASSPATH environment variable. 
                     		
                  
- If you are using Simple-JNDI to register JDBC DataSource objects, add your 
                     		  simple-jndi-version.jar and the 
                     		  jndi.properties to the CLASSPATH environment variable. 
                     		  
                     Note: On the CLASSPATH, you can either specify the 
                        			 jndi.properties file in its original format, or as an alternative, you can compress it into a 
                        			 .zip archive and specify the 
                        			 .zip archive instead.
