Question

Whenever I try (My)SQL queries on the sever (the server is in debug mode in Eclipse) I get this error:

SEVERE: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'

Now I can’t recall how I got this detail, but I suspect that the following info is relevant:
with %MyWorkspace% being some path like x:\some_path, this path:

%MyWorkspace%\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.wst.server.core\tmp0\wtpwebapps\rewardy\WEB-INF\lib

contains the mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar file, that if I’m not wrong has the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver class that it looks for (am I right ?…)

I use this config: Win7 x64, Eclipse Helios Service Release 2, WAMP Server and Tomcat 6.0.26.

Answer 1

have you mysql-connector-java-5.1.13-bin.jar in classpath or in libs/ on tomcat ? – triclosan

Thanks @triclosan, I put it in Tomcat/lib and it works now!
