//************************************************** **********************
// Overview:
// This program is a JAVA application that makes calls to various JDBC
// metadata functions, including
// getDriverName(), getDriverVersion(), getDatabaseProductName(),
// getDatabaseProductVersion(), getTypeInfo(), getStringFunctions(),
// getTableTypes(), getTables()
//
// Software Requirements:
// 1. Informix IDS
// 2. Java Development Kit
// 3. Be sure PATH and CLASSPATH environment variables are set.
// PATH needs to be set to include the bin directory of where JDK is
// installed (eg. d:\jdk1.3.1_02\bin). CLASSPATH should include
// ifxjdbc.jar (eg. d:\informix\jdbc\lib\ifxjdbc.jar).
//
// Instructions:
// 1. javac getIfxMetaData.java
// 2. java getIfxMetaData host port database server user password

Assuning the connection is ok, you need to grant more powerful permission, It worked for me with DBA
