Question

I am working on a project where we need to access tables from mysql database. But, I keep getting the following exception in eclipse.

java.lang.classnotfoundexception com.mysql.jdbc.driver

I have downloaded the mysql-connector-java-5.1.23 and tried placing the jar file at lib file of the project and since it didnt work I placed it in Apache's lib..But again got the same problem..I have also tried setting the environment class path variable to point to the jar file..but it still didn't work..

I am using eclipse juno and MySQL Server 5.0 with apache tomcat 7.0

try this

right click on the project

-->buildpath
 -->configure build path
-->add external jar files
and then select your jar file

you need to add to the build path of the project.

If you are creating JPA project then you have to add the .jar files.

Right click on project->buildpath->configure build path. In that click the "Libraries" on the top. Now click the Add External Jars and browse the jar u downloaded and add.

Hope it will work.
