How do I access a Filemaker Pro (5.0) database through a Java Servlet?

What would I use here:

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("", "", "");

Does anyone know the information needed to use the getConnection(...) function to connect to the database? I've checked my manual and searched around the net, but I can't find this information anywhere.

Thanks,

B.P.

First of all, thanks for reply.

No, I don't have the Developer version. I only have FileMaker Pro 5.0. Does this mean I cannot do this? I installed the ODBC drivers through "Data Source (ODBC)" settings in Windows.

If I can do it in FMP 5.0 can someone please post an example.

Thanks!

A Java example would be nice.

Technically I could use an JDBC-ODBC bridge to access FMP if it is strictly ODBC, which seems to be the case with 5.0. However, I'm pretty sure 6.0 has the JDBC drivers available. Anyway, I'm still not sure if I can access my FileMaker Pro database without have the developer's edition. If you could answer me that I'd greatly appreciate it.

okay, I finally figured out my problem. I got the driver, but I was using a newer version of JDK that didn't understand the JDBC driver or something...anyway, it works now
