Q:
I've set up a driver between the Notes Address Book and eDirectory and
everything works. On the same box, I'm trying to set up another driver
that connects eDirectory to a Non-Directory Notes Database.
I'm having a problem with the driver connecting to the database to get the
schema information. The Error that I get is:
Message: Exception caused by DriverShim.getSchema()
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
I'm confused because the other driver works fine. It can find getSchema
without any problems. The only thing that I've been able to find on the
error tells me to verify that the Notes.jar file is in the correct place. If it works on one driver, shouldn't it work on the next driver?
A:
Yes, it should. The problem you are experiencing is most likely due to a mismatched NotesDriverShim.jar and CommonDriverShim.jar combination. If you have somehow updated CommonDriverShim.jar and are still using an older NotesDriverShim.jar, this error can occur. See TID 2970890.
