Question

i can connect mysql with java using eclipse in a java application with these statements

String unicode = "?useUnicode=yes&characterEncoding=UTF-8";
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            con = (Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(
                    "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ams-competation" + unicode,
                    username, password);

and it works good

but my problem is when i tried to connect to mysql with a server application i got this exception

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
what am i doing wrong?thank you all

Answer 1

I think you have not included mysql drive jar in your web project.

put mysql-connector-java.. jar file in your web projects lib folder
