Your error clearly says that the MySql
connector jar is not placed in the correct folder. The correct folder is WEB-INF/lib
. So place your jar in this folder.
You have your eclipse project referencing the mysql library. This allows the compiler, in eclipse, to find the classes when compiling. However, you do not have the library as part of your web app when you publish it to your tomcat server. You need to remove the library from the project, and copy the jar file into your app's WEB-INF/lib
directory.
java.lang.classnotfoundexception
com.mysql.jdbc.MySql
issued by WebAppClassLoader
. This tells that you need to include MySql
connector jar in your web path under WEB-INF/lib
directory.
