Before you can connect your Java application to 4D by using the JDBC-ODBC Bridge, you need to configure a 4D ODBC driver data source. An ODBC data source stores the connection details for the target database (in this case, 4D) and the ODBC driver that is required to connect to it (in this case, the 4D ODBC driver).
%windir%\syswow64\odbcad32.exe
For installation instructions, refer to the Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge documentation.
EJOB.jar to a machine where you have a Java Development Kit installed.
If the Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge is already installed on this machine, skip this step.
EJOB.jar is installed in the following location on the machine where you install the Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge:
easysoft_install\Jars
The default location for easysoft_install is drive:\Program Files (x86)\Easysoft Limited\Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge.

set CLASSPATH="%CLASSPATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\Easysoft Limited\Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge\Jars\EJOB.jar"
cd to the directory where ConnectTo4D.java is located, and compile and run the Java file. For example:
