Hello,
I am trying to write a JSP program that will connect to my database.
I use NetBeans and I have created a database in MySQL called School.
I looked at some sample codes online and did not understand the following;
1. Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
What does the "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" stand for? Other programs I looked at just have "Driver".
2.dbconn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydatabase";
Here, i guess the program is trying to connect to the database but my question is how do you configure Tomcat to work with MySQL?
Thanks you very much for your concern.
Sen Aff.
