My app was failing to deploy, then I updated the class and url:
From Cuba:
driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
url="jdbc:sqlserver://localhost/appnamedatabase"
Manual:
driverClassName="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost/appnamedatabase"
Then I copied the JTDS driver into the lib directory and the application deployed successfully.
When I deploy a war with Drivers included I have noticed that since 6.5.0 the Microsoft SQL Server(Not Microsoft SQL Server 2012) option no longer uses the JTDS driver. Is there a reason for the change?
I understand that this is a relatively easy fix, but at a continuous update for changing apps creates a problem.
