I've got no idea why zxJDBC is hard-wired to a specific database
driver, as your description is suggesting. Anyway, you seem to be
having the "wrong" driver for this hard-wired class name. I remember
having used one with MM in its package name, but it definitely wasn't
Connector/J, which I've never heard of.
