I thought I did everything right, but for some reason my code will not connect to the database? I have 4 different files of java code you may have to look over to see if what is wrong. I'm not sure if there is a way for me to upload files for others to view.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Not sure if it is my database file that may have something missing or not. When I hit Clean & Build, it does not show me any errors.

Update: Getting this error now

  • You are getting an error message/exception ? So post the error message and add the significant code where the error occurs by editing your question. – PeterMmm May 15 '19 at 20:00
  • I have. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver It will not connect to the database. I hit Clean & Build and it does not show me any errors. I am not sure which file I should be looking into as I have 4 java files. – Ahmed Archambault May 15 '19 at 20:56
  • Have you added the mysql connector dependency in your pom.xml? It seems to be missing. – Islam Hassan May 15 '19 at 21:04
  • Ok so now I am getting this error when I try to run the build: – Ahmed Archambault May 16 '19 at 02:07
  • The significant message in the stack trace is `Unsupported major.minor version 52.0`. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/35866015/2985643 . Presumably you compiled your code using JDK 8, but you are trying to run it in an environment with a JRE < 8. Check your project settings in NetBeans by selecting the project, right clicking and selecting _Properties_ from the context menu. – skomisa May 16 '19 at 02:50
