MSAccess and hibernate

[bbq]

The place where I work has its web page in a hosting and they use "MSAccess" as data base
Questions:

1) What characteristics should the host have to support a java development with hibernate ?
2)Does MSAccess support hibernate?

thanks!

It should have TOMCAT
Hibernate support every data base, but I recommend you Mysql

[Peter]

It is important that you have the JVM installed

It does not appear either of these answers even began to address the issue.
I have the same problem. I tried a driver mentioned on the hibernate support page:
hibernate.org - Supported Databases
but it did not work for me.
So if anyone has gotten this actually working, would appreciate knowing how.
Switching to MYSQl is not an option.
thx
