I have the ms sql server jdbc drivers (tried both 1.2 and 2) for sqlsvr 2005. I have connected to the sql server without any problems but when I try to open tables,views,or procedures I get nothing. I did this on the mysql server with no trouble. I really wouldnt mind that much to programmatically attach db tables to jsf tables but I cant find any good docs on that either. Id rather not reinvent the wheel anyways, I just want to see my sql server tables. Again I did this on a SLES 10 server and a Windows XP machine and got the same results
Please attach messages.log (View->IDE Log File) For using MSSQL with Visual Web JSF you might want to try the jTDS driver http://wiki.netbeans.org/DatabasesAndDrivers#section-DatabasesAndDrivers-JTDSDriverForTheSQLServerDatabase
Are you sure you are connecting to the right schema? In the Connect dialog, after entering your name and password, select the Advanced tab and press Get Schemas. Check if selecting the "dbo" schema helps.
jbaker thanks for the suggestion although abadea solved the issue I do love open source and TDS so I am glad to have that alternative. abadea many thanks that was my issue.
Verified with build 080724.
