Hi Folks,

I'm trying to move from Jbird 1.5 to 2.1.1 but am having some
problems. I've created the following test program:

package javaapplication2;

import java.sql.Connection;
import org.firebirdsql.pool.FBWrappingDataSource;

public class Main {

/** Creates a new instance of Main */
public Main() {

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {
FBWrappingDataSource ds = new FBWrappingDataSource();

ds.setDescription("Main Aktiv Firebird Database");

ds.setDatabase("localhost/C:\\!Development\\Aktiv3\\DataSafe\\Aktiv3.fdb");
ds.setUserName("aktivate");
ds.setPassword("*****");
ds.setMaxPoolSize(20);
ds.setMaxIdleTime(60000);
ds.setPooling(true);
ds.setType("TYPE4");
ds.setMinPoolSize(3);
ds.setLoginTimeout(10);
Connection con = ds.getConnection();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

but when I run it i get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Any ideas?
