It has been some time since I have done any WebObjects development and I am trying to resurrect an old project on a new machine. I went through all the steps to get WebObjects/Wonder installed and I can run HelloWorld. The problem appears to be with my Postgresql JDBC connection. I am running Postgres93.app. I added the postgresql-9.3-1100.jdbc3.jar to my project's Resources folder and added that jar to the build path. When I run and try to bootstrap my database, I cannot connect and I get the following error. Is there something that I missed in the setup process? Any help would be appreciated.
