JDBC driver error

[kimi lynn]

Hello,
I've downloaded MySQL Connector/J 3.0 zip file for the windows box.when I unzipped, had a directory, mysql-connector-java-3.0.10-stable and inside it I had this mysql-connector-java-3.0.10-stable-bin.jar file.I copied this file to j2sdk1.4.1_02/jre/lib/ext and when i try to run the following program, it throws me with error.Any ideas???
Thanks in advance.
public class test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
System.out.println("Good to go");
} catch (Exception E) {
System.out.println("JDBC Driver error");
}
}
}

Is it throwing the error that you have listed in your try catch block? Can you tell us/show us what error you are getting?
Also, how are you executing the application?

I was trying to check if the driver is configured well and working.since the jar file of the driver could'nt find the class path, it has throwed me the error.its working fine, got to write some applications and test it
Thanks for all your time
