MySql help needs

[fengzixuan zheng]

I got a problem with my codes when I want to connect to a MySql database.
I have successfullly installed the MySql-4.0.0a-alpha-win, and have the MySql services running.
I copy the the mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar to my JDK root-dir: D:\J2SE; so I set the classpath: "D:\J2SE\src.jar; D:\J2SE\mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar"
My codes :
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import org.gjt.mm.mysql.*;
public class MySqlTest{
Connection DBConn;
ResultSet rs;
Statement stmt;
String dsn;
String query;
public MySqlTest(){
try{
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException ce) {
ce.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
MySqlTest mst=new MySqlTest();
}
}

Compiles OK, but when running, it gives :
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
����
����

Plesae help me.

Well your compiler is finding the jar files but the application server isn't. You need to check that it has the jar files in the CLASSPATH. Which server is it?

Hi, fengzixuan zheng
try putting your drive jar file into D:\J2SE
/jre/lib/ext directory, so and you even don't need use classpath for your driver.
if 'ext' folder no exsit, make one.
