Java and MS-Access

Hi, I would like to build a website that uses MS-Access for its database. I would also like to use java servlets to access the database. Can I use java with an MS-Access database and if so, how do I set this up?

Hey, chances of actually using access in this situation are slim. And you don't really want to do it, you'll have a slow/laggy site if you use Access (MSJet is useless for proper projects)... You'd be better off using MySQL/SQL lite/similar. Still, if you're decided on how you want to do this then the following tutorial will get you started: http://www.stardeveloper.com/article...1062501&page=1
