Microsoft offers a full JDBC4.2 (Java 8) driver and supports all the features of SQL Server, including SQL Server 2016.īamboo attempts to automatically update jTDS JDBC URLs to values compatible with Microsoft's JDBC driver. Microsoft's driver is actively maintained, where jTDS hasn't been updated since 2014 (and prior to the small round of updates done in 2014 it hadn't been updated for multiple years). Since jTDS 1.3.1 does not provide a functioning JDBC4 implementation, the decision was made to replace jTDS with Microsoft's own SQL Server driver.

The new methods have been 'implemented', but their implementations are all throw new AbstractMethodError(), which means they can't actually be used. While jTDS 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 claim to implement JDBC4, and JDBC4.1, they actually don't. The jTDS driver used by releases prior to Bamboo Server 6.0 is a JDBC3 driver, compatible with Java 1.3, and therefore cannot be used with newer versions of Hibernate. Recent releases of Hibernate, which Bamboo uses to simplify its persistence layer, have introduced a requirement that the JDBC drivers and connection pools used be JDBC4-compliant. The JDBC URL format for Microsoft's SQL Server driver is documented on MSDN at, with documentation for additional properties at. The JDBC URL format for the jTDS driver is documented on SourceForge at. The new JDBC driver class is: .SQLServerDriver The exact values to use in the new URL are beyond the scope of this documentation they must be chosen based on the jTDS settings they are replacing.
