Access on Tomcat

Question

Hi there
I am new into this world of connections and so. So please help me in a way.
My problem is that I would like to get a connection to a Access database from my JSP's. But I do not get any connection.
The error I get is as followes:
Description:
The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
Exception:
Datasource was bot found and there is not a default driver.
(I had to translate the messages from a nother language, so I hope that you know the english version be reading thise lines).
Now I would like some help to get the rigth connection-driver and help on where to save/put it so I can use it.
Regards Tolstrup

try
String DriverName = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
Class.forName(driverName);
String URL = "jdbc:odbc:TheDataSourceName";
dbConn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Connection to db failed");
System.out.println(e.toString());
you can use odbc to connnect to your database.
open odbc Administrator
click on system dsn
then click on ADD then choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)
Give a name to your DataSource Name... i gave a TheDataSourceName
then click on select to select database and click okie...
