Your exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

Are you passing the jdbc driver to your program. Also you are specifying com.sqlserver.jdbc.Driver. It is looking for com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver? I am not sure where is this coming from but your issue is not having a driver to connect to SQL Server.
