First of all

Don't put question in this fashion.

Please read this HowToAskQuestionsOnJavaRanch


Which version of mysql you are using ?

To download correct mysql connector
Check This

For Mysql 5.0 I am using mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar

And make sure that jar file should be in classpath of application .


Thanks

Dont use Hindi word, other Rancher wont understand it !

mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar and the other is mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha.zip.jar.Then also i am getting the same error.I need your help very urgently.

You are not using correct version of MySQL connector . As you are using MySQL 5.x, so search for the same version of connector , Kuldeep provides you the link, download the latest version (5.x ) and replace with old !

If you are using eclipse then IDE itself point red mark id you are not importing required classes.


Connector/J 5.1 may be sutable for your mysql .
Download that and use it.

Thanks
