Can you tell us more about how you are starting your jini service?  It would be
nice if you could post scripts and configuration files related to what you are
doing so that we could look for classpath issues.

 From a general perspective, if your service is using JDBC, your odbc14.jar
driver jar needs to be in the classpath of the service just like the services
jar file.  Check you paths and make sure you just didn't mistype something.  If
your service has a serviceUI, and your serviceUI client code is doing the JDBC
access, then you either need to make the driver appear in the classpath of the
client software that is downloading and using the serviceUI, or you need to put
odbc14.jar into the codebase of the service so that it will be downloaded.

You also need to consider that in Swing/AWT programming, the AWT event thread
does not have an appropriate context classloader set by default.  So, if you are
using JDBC in an action from a buttonclick, you'll need to set the context
classloader of the thread that is eventually using JDBC to the classloader of
the services codebase.

Please tell us some more, if this doesn't make any sense, and let's go through
the issues one at a time.
