Can we open mysql connection from a servlet ? (using mysql connector)

Question

I have a DatabaseConnectionOpen.java class as follows :

package db;

import java.sql.*;
public class DatabaseConnectionOpen {

static String dbHost = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/javaweb?useSSL=false";
static String dbUsername = "user";
static String dbPassword = "user";

static Connection myConn = null;
static Statement myStmt = null;
static ResultSet myRes = null;

public void openConnection(){
    try {
        myConn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbHost, dbUsername, dbPassword);
    }
    catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
public ResultSet runQuery(String query){
    try{
        myStmt = myConn.createStatement();
        myRes = myStmt.executeQuery(query);
    }
    catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {
        return myRes;
    }
}
public void closeConnection(){
    try {
        if (myRes != null) myRes.close();
        if (myStmt != null) myStmt.close();
        if (myConn != null) myConn.close();
    }
    catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
}

It works fine when I use it from a class named ViewUsers.java whose code is as follows :

package dbImplement;

import db.DatabaseConnectionOpen;

import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class ViewUsers {

public static void main(String[] args) {

    ResultSet myRes = null;

    DatabaseConnectionOpen dbObject = new DatabaseConnectionOpen();

    dbObject.openConnection();

    try {
        myRes = dbObject.runQuery("SELECT * FROM users");
        while (myRes.next()) {
            System.out.println(myRes.getString("fname") + " " + myRes.getString("lname"));
        }
        myRes = dbObject.runQuery("SELECT * FROM users");
        while (myRes.next()) {
            System.out.println(myRes.getString("fname"));
        }
    }
    catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {
        dbObject.closeConnection();
    }

    dbObject.closeConnection();

}
}

But the problem occurs when I want to use DatabaseConnectionOpen.java from a servlet , code as follows :

package servlets;

import db.DatabaseConnectionOpen;

import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

@WebServlet(name = "FirstServlet", urlPatterns = {"/msg"})

public class FirstServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response) throws javax.servlet.ServletException, IOException {

    response.setContentType("text/html");
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

    ResultSet myRes = null;
    DatabaseConnectionOpen dbObject = new DatabaseConnectionOpen();
    dbObject.openConnection();
    out.println("<h1>Hello Sevlet</h1>");

    try {
        myRes = dbObject.runQuery("SELECT * FROM users");
        while (myRes.next()) {
            out.println("<h3>"+myRes.getString("fname") + " " + myRes.getString("lname")+"</h3>");
        }
    }
    catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally {
        dbObject.closeConnection();
    }

    dbObject.closeConnection();

}
}

It only prints "Hello Servlet" but not the h3 part, and says :

It say no driver found but i have the external libraries of mysql connector and my other class(ViewUsers.java) works fine at the same time but not the Servlet.
