jConnect is supplied as a JAR file named jconn4.jar. This file is located in your jConnect install location.

For your application to use jConnect, the jConnect classes must be in your class file path at compile time and run time, so that the Java compiler and Java runtime can locate the necessary files.

The following command adds the jConnect driver to an existing CLASSPATH environment variable (where jconnect-path is your jConnect installation directory).

set classpath=jconnect-path\classes\jconn4.jar;%classpath%

The classes in jConnect are all in com.sybase.jdbc4.jdbc. You must import these classes at the beginning of each source file:

import com.sybase.jdbc4.jdbc.*

SQL Anywhere supports password encryption for jConnect connections.
