Sorry, I meant Driver.connect()
Once you have loaded the driver class using a URLClassLoader, you can
create a new instance and cast that to a Driver and then ask the driver to
connect.
Something like this:
URLClassLoader l = new URLClassLoader(...);
Class drvClass = l.loadClass("org.postgresql.Driver");
java.sql.Driver drv = (java.sql.Driver)drvClass.newInstance();
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("user", "postgres");
props.put("password", "password");
java.sql.Connection conn = drv.connect("jdbc:postgresql:localhost/mydb",
props);
