SQL Server 2008

• There is a known issue with connecting to SQL Server 2008 in Java 1.6.0_29. A bug has been logged on Oracle's Java bug database: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=b6e20c218dad10fffffffffb52f0628698511?bug_id=7103725. The symptoms are that the getConnection() calls hang and never complete. As a workaround, please use a different jdk version. Either 1.6.0_27 or 1.7 will work well.
