Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)

Wonder if anyone can help me with this one?

I am attempting to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge on Fedora with J2SDK 1.4.2_04, however I am getting a NullPointerException whenever I get the connection. I can get the JDBC connection to work but it is a requirement that ODBC be used.

The code is as simple as it can get.

import java.sql.*;

public class TestClass
{
   public static void doConnection()
   {
      try
      {
           Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
           Connection cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:DB");
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
           e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      doConnection();
   }
}

Running this program using java -verbose TestClass I get the following output.
....
[Loaded sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc from /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/rt.jar]

The UnsatisfiedLinkError suggests to me that a library cannot be found, but I don't know what library.

As far as I know I have configured ODBC correctly. I can achieve connectivity to my database using other tools and I still get this same error irrespective of whether the DSN is valid or not.

I have installed the unixODBC rpm.

Any help/insite would be greatly appreciated.
