Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Hi,
i recently created a thread explaining a problem with a connection to a sql database and a port, located here:
2144137

im still trying to resolve that,

this is the code i have:

Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
String url = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=Factura";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"sa","");

but i have a question:

can i connect to the database without specifying the port?

i mean, im also connecting to that database with another programming language, and im not specifying a port in that language and the connection is working correctly.

can you also connect to a database in java without the need of a port?

how can i do that?

thanks..
