unixodbc FileMaker fmodbc.so, anyone?

[ggt667]

Is there, or did anyone make, a FileMaker client driver for ODBC that works in Linux?

I've heard reports of people hacking it but I would not recommend it and certainly would never use that in production.  Is JDBC an option instead?

[ggt667]

Could be, I have never used JDBC though. I'm quite familiar with the unixODBC project however. How does JDBC work in comparison to ODBC?

I tried this https://buzz.beezwax.net/2012/01/25/recipe-for-testing-jdbc-connection-to-filemaker-server/ today: 

$ java -Djava.ext.dirs=./ FilemakerJDBCTest
com.filemaker.jdbc.FMSQLException: [FileMaker][FileMaker JDBC] Cannot find any provider supporting AES/ECB/NoPadding
java.lang.NullPointerException

fmjdbc.jar is in my current folder

I also tried the same script on a Mac, same error message for 2 servers, there is definitely something going on, not sure what.
