I really would recommend that you, instead of typing:
    System.err.println( "Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver." );
would type:
    System.err.println( "Failed to load JDBC/ODBC driver, reason:
"+e.getMessage());
or add this line below:
  e.printStackTrace();

That way, you get lots of helpful information on what exactly went wrong.
With the current input, I can't give any more help than that.
There's at least a half dozen possible reasons for the malfunction.

Hope that helps.
