How to connect sql server through java code?

Question

I am creating application where I need to connect my services to sql server. When I run the test code after adding dependency, it runs successfully. This is the test code which runs successfully :

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DatabaseMetaData;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.sql.*;

public class SQLConnection {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
                Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");  
                Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://10.235.5.38\\name;user=sa;password=password;database=dbname");
                Statement sta = conn.createStatement();
                 if (conn != null) {
                        DatabaseMetaData dm = (DatabaseMetaData) conn.getMetaData();
                        System.out.println("Driver name: " + dm.getDriverName());
                        System.out.println("Driver version: " + dm.getDriverVersion());
                        System.out.println("Product name: " + dm.getDatabaseProductName());
                        System.out.println("Product version: " + dm.getDatabaseProductVersion());
                    }
            }
    }

But when I add dependency for jdbc and run the same code while creating service , it gives me error like :

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

I have added this dependency in pom.xml :

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
            <artifactId>sqljdbc4</artifactId>
            <version>4.2</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

What changes I should make so that I can have connection successfully while creating service?

The scope is 'test', the dependency won't be visible in or packaged with the application when it runs normally, not as a test. Change it to "runtime". — vempo

Your dependency's scope is test, which means it will not be in the classpath when the application runs normally (not as a test). Change the scope to runtime, in which case classes inside the .jar will be available in run-time both if you run the application in the IDE or use a Maven plugin to package it.

If you are still facing the issue with maven , you can download sqlserver jar file separately and add it in your project and try to run again.below is the path to download jar file.

Thanks for your time Shrikant, replacing 'test' with 'runtime' solved the problem actually.

Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't make this artifact available via any maven repository . I would suggest you to use below dependency to resolve your issue

Microsoft has published some their drivers to maven central:

 <dependency>
            <groupId>com.microsoft.sqlserver</groupId>
            <artifactId>mssql-jdbc</artifactId>
            <version>6.1.0.jre8</version>
        </dependency>

The dependency was apparently downloaded from microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11774 and either added to a private Maven repository or installed locally using mvn install:install-file -Dfile=sqljdbc42.jar -DgroupId=com.microsoft.sqlserver -DartifactId=sqljdbc4 -Dversion=4.2 -Dpackaging=jar
