NullpointerException when no driverClassName is specified

When no driverClassName is specified you get a NullpointerException in Class.forName

It is possible to use a command line parameter to load the driver:
-Djdbc.drivers=foo.bah.Driver

Anyway the message from DriverManager.getDriver is more userfriendly
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
