JDBC-ODBC Driver SQL Server Connection Error

HI,
I’m having problems in connecting to SQL Server 2000. I am using Jdbc-Odbc bridge, and sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver since my SQL server is configured to work only on Windows Authentication. I cannot use microsoft sql server driver. When i’m trying to configure a connection pool i’m getting the following error.

Error encountered

 
[ART.118.5042] Adapter Runtime (Connection): Unable to enable connection resource sap.inbound.pams.dbconnection:pamsDbConnection.
[ART.118.5036] Adapter Runtime (Connection): Unable to configure connection manager.
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

And when i’m trying to create a JDBC adapter using the Alias Management section with the following configuration

 
Alias pamsDbTest 
DB URL : jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={SQL Server};Database=DbpPAMS;Server=DHA00730-MSDP01
DB Username : someuser
DB Password : xxxx [it is not needed since sql server is working on windows authentication mechanism only]
DB Driver :sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Minimum Connections : 1
Maximum Connections : 10
Expiration Time (ms) 
Loaded Drivers 
<None or new driver> 
webMethods Repository Version 2 
com.wm.dd.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver 
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver 

I get the following error
Could not connect: No suitable driver

Can anyone suggest me what to do, is my URL correct? has anyone tried sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver for connecting with SQL Server from webMethod Integration server.

Yes i hav tried both the ways, 1. Creating conneciton pool from JDBC Adapter menu, and creating Alias from wmDB menu. I’m very new to this webMethod/SAP environment so I am reluctant in trying different things. But it appears as if either webMethod does not support raw JDBC implementation by sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver or my DSN-Less Connection URL has some problems. I cannot create DSN on the machine thats why i hav to try the DSN less way.
