jdbc connection problem to ms sql server 2000


What have been done:
-------------------------------
installed jdbc driver for ms sql server 2000;
found a sample / edited it to form some java code for testing
connection to a sql server 2000 db;
compiled it;

java run time/environment: jre1.5.0x

Problem:
when attempted to execute/run the java class even adding all the
correct classpath (for mssqlserver.jar and the two jar files), and yet
jre complained about class not found error, wtf?

searched the NG for possible solution to no avail. dissed.

what's wrong?
