Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

here's my code that tries to connect with MSSql server.

import java.*;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.*;

public class ConnectMsSql {

public ConnectMsSql() {
try{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://FLAME:1433;");
}catch(Exception exception){
exception.printStackTrace();
System.out.println(exception.getMessage());
System.out.println("Database Connection Failed");

}
}

}

public class database(){

public static void main(String[] args){
ConnectMsSql x = new ConnectMsSql();

}


}


and i'm receiving a runtime error message like this one..
