Class loader doesn't seem to load JDBC drivers

[jpokrzyk]

Groovy class loader won't load JDBC drivers. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vertx/djXxGfOClt0.

Here's some sample code to reproduce error:

Seems like this one is beyond my skill level to fix but if you don't get to it in a few days I'll take a look.

Having looked at it several evening this week, I haven't been able to solve it.
I'll try again this week, and if I'm unable to solve it, I'll escalate to @purplefox

I tested and work fine, I can't reproduce the issue with a postgresql driver, e.g.: [https://gist.github.com/rodrigoSaladoAnaya/11063062]

The problem must be that the jar is not in the classpath, or that the jar you use has a problem.

If I have a mistake and instead of url:'jdbc: postgresql://localhost/databasname' I put something like url:'jdbc:postgresqlFoo://localhost/databasname' I get an exception:

Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:postgresqlr://localhost/databasename
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection (DriverManager.java: 604) 
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection (DriverManager.java: 221) 
at groovy.sql.Sql.newInstance (Sql.java: 396) 
at groovy.sql.Sql.newInstance (Sql.java: 440)

...

Hi @jpokrzyk, you can add this snippet and verify that the driver is included?

//Show classpath elements
System.getProperty('java.class.path').split(':').each {
    println "> ${it}"
}

Regards.

K. I can't remember exactly how I was doing this originally. vertx runmod works fine if I put the jdbc.jar in the lib folder. Don't know if I previously tried that. I might have been trying to us grape.

I still can't get it to work with gradle. Here's the code: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/416599/gist.zip

Here's the classpath dump with vertx runmod

Here's the classpath from gradle runmod

But feel free to close this if you don't want to work on it. If I'm using gradle, it's a larger-ish project and I would be using mod-jdbc anyways.

With 'vertx run' I was probably trying to do this with grape. And after thinking that one through definitely understand why vertx wouldn't pick up what grape downloads.

Thanks for te follow up though.
