Cannot connect to host localhost:7210

Hi Experts,

I have created a J2EE Application using Design Pattern. In which i am connecting to MaxDB which is installed on local machine. I am using NW 2004 SE SP9

I have used following code for connection to MaxDB.

try {

    Class.forName ("com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.DriverSapDB");

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

    // TODO Auto-generated catch block

    e.printStackTrace();

}

//Get Connection

try {

con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sapdb://localhost/MAXDB?sqlmode=ORACLE","DBADMIN", "hcl123");

} catch (SQLException e1) {

    e1.printStackTrace();

}

return con;

Now when i execute the above code i am getting exception:

com.sap.dbtech.jdbc.exceptions.JDBCDriverException: SAP DBTech JDBC: Cannot connect to jdbc:sapdb://localhost/MAXDB [Cannot connect to host localhost:7210 [Connection refused: connect], -813.].#

PS# Also, the same code is running well when i am executing it via PSVM.

Please help!

Rgds,

Pankaj
