Post the part of your code that loads the driver and connects. My guess is you are using a variable for the name of the driver and the variable has not been set to anything(intially set to null).

Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver'

Hi,
I'm trying to run my web app and connect to a MySQL database but keep getting this error:
org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver'
any ideas?
Thanks!

Lookup the stacktrace and find the root cause of the exception.
My cents on a ClassNotFoundException which is rather self-explaining.
By the way, the mentioned driver class name is a very old driver. You shouldn't be using that anymore. Surf to the MySQL homepage and download the most recent Connector/J JDBC driver for your database version. Documentation is also available over there.

Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'

Hi,
At the moment I'm trying to get an example working. The error message I get is:
Unable to get connection, DataSource invalid: "org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'"
The example I tried is http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html.
Configuration:
Wampserver 2.0 (Apache, MySQL, PHP for Windows XP), Tomcat 6.0 and jdk1.6.0_03.
The following files are installed in %CATALINA_HOME%/webabbs/
- Dbtest/test.jsp
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/web.xml
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/tomcat-dbcp.jar
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar
Tia,
Abel.

Hi,
I added the jar file containing the requested class to my lib directory. So the current contents of that directory is:
The following files are installed in %CATALINA_HOME%/webabbs/
- Dbtest/test.jsp
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/web.xml
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/standard.jar
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/tomcat-dbcp.jar
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/jstl.jar
- Dbtest/WEB-INF/lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar
More importantly, I started my Wamp server.
The example works as it should have. Thanks for the feedback.

SOA WebLogic : Cannot load JDBC driver class

Hi, I'm new to this Oracle SOA World. Currently I'm trying to configure environment on my system. I found a very useful document to install all related SOA component to my system, the document name was 'Quick Start Guide for Oracle® SOA Suite 11gR1 (11.1.1.5.0)'. I did all the steps written in the document and have installed all the components successfully, component including Database, Jdevelper, WebLogic Server, RCU, SOA suite, service bus, all are installed successfully.
But when I'm trying to Configure Application Server (start -> Oracle SOA 11g-Home1), at one step 'Configure JDBC Component Schema' , here I'm getting this message
* The driver class listed below was not found in product installation
vendor: Derby
Driver: org.apache.derby.jdbc.clientdriver
A Test will not be performed on any database connections using this driver
In addition, when i just ignore this message and continue installation, after installation when i run weblogic server then it gives error and gets terminated
here is weblogic server log:

Hi:
try placing the jars that represent ur driver, here
For both Windows and Linux, you must perform the following steps:
Drop the vendor-specific driver JAR files to the user_projects/domains/soainfra/lib directory.
Drop the vendor-specific driver JAR files to the <Weblogic_Home>/server/lib.

Java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver

THis topic has been discussed many many times but I still not able to connect to Oracle 8i from my servlet using Tomcat 4.1.12 on hp-ux and java1.3
I always got: java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'
In server.xml:
<Context Path="/MyApp" docBase="MyApp" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
<Resource name="jdbc/ora" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams name="jdbc/ora" >
<parameter>
<name>username</name>
<value>myname</value>
</parameter>
<parameter> <name>password</name>
<value>mypassword</value>
</parameter>
<parameter> <name>driverClassName</name>
<value>oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver</value>
</parameter>
<parameter>
<name>url</name>
<value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@myhostname:1521:ora</value>
</parameter> </ResourceParams>
</Context>
In MyApp/WEB-INF/web.xml:
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/ora</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
The Oracle jdbc jar file classes12.jar is under common/lib in Tomcat's home. read Permission is there.
In the servlet:
init(ServletConfig config):
Context init = new InitialContext();
Context ctx = (Context) init.lookup("java:comp/env");
dataSource = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/acdb");
doPost(..)
the error occured at :
synchronized (dataSource){
con = dataSource.getConnection();}
Thanks in advance!

Everything looks correct to me, except for one thing.
In your web.xml you have this:
<res-ref-name>jdbc/ora</res-ref-name> In your server.xml, you have this tag, which matches your web.xml:
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/ora" > But in your Java code, you've got this:
dataSource = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/acdb"); When I've successfully set up a Web app data source, all three names had to agree. You either need to change your Java lookup name to "jdbc/ora" or change the web.xml and server.xml to "jdbc/acdb".
See if that does it. Everything else sounds correct to me. - MOD

My JSP Code:
Context initContext = new InitialContext();
Context envContext = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/jsp");

I think mysql jdbc library should add to the class library path of your project.
Hope this helps.

Problem loading jdbc driver in Tomcat

Hi,
I have got a connection to MySQL5.0 from TomCat 5.5.13, that was test correctly in development (JSC Upd 1) but I encounter the following deployment error :
com.sun.rave.web.ui.appbase.ApplicationException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.SQLNestedException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
When I verify, I found that if I put the mysql Connector JDBC driver in <tomcat>/common/lib, there is no error.
But when the MySql Connector JDBC driver resides in <tomcat>/shared/lib, the error persists.
What's the difference ? shouldn't it work for both ?
Thanks in advance for any pointers and advise.

hmm... i guess that it's a must to include the lib at /common/lib instead of shared/lib .
Is there a Tomcat resource that I can read up on ?

Can't load jdbc driver in servlet

Dear All,
I have tried to connect to MS SQL SERVER 2000 through JDBC DRIVER FOR
SQLSERVER. However I receieved an error: can't load jdbc driver class:
null.
The following steps were what I did:
1.Set up SQL Server and create a few tables and users.
2.Config Server.xml
Add the following codes in /tomcat/conf/Server.xml
<Context path="/persistence" docBase="persistence" debug="0"
reloadable="true">
          <Resource name="jdbc/persistenceDB" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
          <ResourceParams name="jdbc/PersistenceDB">
               <Parameter>
                    <name>user</name>
                    <value>kitty</value>
               </Parameter>
               <Parameter>
                    <name>password</name>
                    <value>abc</value>
               </Parameter>
               <Parameter>
                    <name>driverClassName</name>
                    <value>com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver</value>
               </Parameter>
               <Parameter>
                    <name>url</name>
<value>jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;databaseName=persistence;selectMethod=cursor;</value>
               </Parameter>
          </ResourceParams>
</Context>
3.Config my web application's web.xml
Added the following piece of code in WEB.XML
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jdbc/persistenceDB</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
4.Use Datasource in my code
package persistence.database;
import java.sql.*;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import persistence.*;
import com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.*;
import javax.naming.Context;
public class DatabaseAuthenticator implements Authenticator {
private DataSource ds;
public void init(ServletContext sctx) throws Exception {
InitialContext init = new InitialContext();
try{
     Context ctx = (Context) init.lookup("java:/comp/env");
ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/persistenceDB");
} catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace();
public User authenticate(String username, String password)
throws AuthenticationException, UnknownException {
Connection conn = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
ResultSet rs;
try {
if (ds != null) {System.out.println("Success to get
datasource");
        } else {System.out.println("Failed");}
System.out.println(ds.toString());
try
conn = ds.getConnection();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT user_id " + .........
5. put msutil.jar, mssqlserver.jar and msbase.jar under /tomcat/common/lib/.
When I tried to run the program, I receieved an error: can't load jdbc
driver class: null.
I've got no idea what's going on.
Any Suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Kitty

Hi Kitty,
The connection you're trying to set up points to nothing :
Connection conn = null;
So, you receive a complaint that that driver cannot be loaded. Please read
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
download the right database driver and use that. Good luck!

ZipException in Loading JDBC Driver

Getting java.util.zip.ZipException trying to Load JDBC Driver Class.
The JDBC driver classes are in a jar file which is in WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH.The
jar file is perfectly valid, atleast I can see it with "jar".
It works fine If I extract the jar file into my serverclasses which is in
WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH.
We are running WLS51SP10 on AIX4.3.3. Classic VM (J2RE 1.2.2 IBM build
ca122-20010313 (JIT enabled: jitc))
I appreciate any help on this.
Thanks,

Hi.
You might try getting another copy of the driver. It could be corrupted in some
way but still work with the jar utility.

Error: The target database JDBC driver class cannot be loaded

Hi
We have a GTC DB connector deployed and configured in one environment. We are able to provision the users to DB table in that environment.
Then we have taken export of all related data objects(like IT Resource, Resource Obj, Process Defs, Adapter tasks, etc) and imported to another environment.
In this environment we changed the conn parameters in IT resource and made sure that all the files has been copied to respective folders under Xellerate.
When ever we try to provision user to the DB it throws an error message as The target database JDBC driver class cannot be loaded as a response and the create user task is rejected.
Database: MS SQL Server.
App Server: WebSphere App Server 6.1
OIM: 9.1.0.1
Does any one faced this type of issue??
Thanks

Thanks lot for the quick response.
I have copied the sqljdbc.jar file to the ThirdParty folder and restarted in App server. Now that the earlier error "The target database JDBC driver class cannot be loaded" is not appearing while provisioning in the rejected task.
I am getting a new error "GCPROV.ProvTransportProvider.DBProvisioningTransport.DB_GET_CONNECTION_ERROR".
Can you please let me know the reason for this. All the connections parameters are correct to connect to the target databse.
Waiting for the response.

Beginner Has Problem With Loading JDBC Driver Using MySQL

Hi, I am having problem with loading JDBC driver, and need your diagnotic help.
1. I have installed MySQL (C:\mysql), created a databse (soup), and created a littel table (VIDEOS). I am able to see the table in the console:
sql> select * from videos
2. I have downloaded the latest version of Connector/J (mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha.zip), and unzip the zip file into my C:\ directory.
3. I copied the mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha-bin.jar to the C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\jre\lib\ext folder and it is in my CLASSPATH
4. MySQL server is running
C:\> C:\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt --standalone
5. open another DOS window and use the database
mysql>USE SOUP
6. succesfully compiled a Java program (javac Test.java):
import java.sql.* ;
public class Test
public static void main( String[] args )
try
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
try
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection( "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/soup" );
try
Statement statement = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT TITLE FROM VIDEOS");
while ( rs.next() )
System.out.println( rs.getString( "TITLE" ) );
rs.close();
statement.close();
catch ( SQLException e )
System.out.println( "JDBC error: " + e );
finally
con.close();
catch( SQLException e )
System.out.println( "could not get JDBC connection: " + e );
catch( Exception e )
System.out.println( "could not load JDBC driver: " + e );
7. when I run the Java program (java Test), I got
the message:
could not load JDBC driver: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
What am I missing?

Hi,
I missed to specify test in my last post.
Try running your program by explicitly setting the classspath when
running your program . java -classpath c:\mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha-bin.jar test
Make sure your jar file contains org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver class
