All, I'm trying to integrate
JDBC into my
servlet.
I have a working JDBC example which simply runs a select and prints the results.
I also have a simple servlet which says hello.
So far so good.
However when I put the JDBC driver in the servlet init() method, I'm getting the exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.
This is what is throwing the exception:
The compilation is working ok. Only when I upload my servlet class to the (
tomcat) webserver, I'm getting a runtime exception.
I'm using Eclipse for development and am sure that the mySQL driver is in the build path.
Looks like the driver is present in the compile path but not runtime path. I have verified CLASSPATH and it does point to the driver jar file.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Sashi
