Including org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver with my application

So, lets say I have a Java program that connects to an SQL server and it runs fine on my machine. I have all the nessicarry classpath's and Connector/J properly installed. But, when I run it on a client machine I get:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.DriverNow, I can solve this issue by putting the Connector/J onto their computer but, I'm wondering if there's a way to package the application and the driver so that anyone can run it without having to install Connector/J manually.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

That's the old, deprecated JDBC driver class name.

Thanks!"install" it manually? Nobody "installs" a 3rd party JAR. These aren't quite DLLs.
I'll assume your app is a desktop deployment. Package it into an executable JAR, add the Connector/J JAR to the Classpath in the manifest, and zip that JAR up with the Connector/J JAR. Your users will just unzip the ZIP file and execute the JAR.

Org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver

I want to send a WAR file of my web applications to my clients. The application consiting of servlets and jsps connects to a database and requires org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver how do i incorperate the .jar inside the WAR so my client doesn't have to fiddle with dropping jars in tomcats lib directory? I've tried including the org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver driver jar inside the war WEB-INF/lib but it still says it cant find the driver?

If you have set up connection pooling within Tomcat, there is no way around it. The connection pooling is controlled by Tomcat, so it requires the driver file in [TOMCAT]/common/lib.
The only way to have a completely independant WAR file would be to handle all the database connections and connection pooling yourself within the web application.

The name of the bean is correct and so is the package it is stored under. I tried it in the bean and got "ClassNotFoundException" Could not locate DB driver". I tried it with DBtags and got
Driver class 'org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver' not Found
any help would be really appreciated.

When using any 3rd party library with tomcat. the jar file of that library has to be put in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your application. Then only tomcat will find it.
So the my-sql driver would have come in a jar file. just put that jar file in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
After that things should work. If they don't please post again.
hope this helps.
regards,
Abhishek.

Org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver not found help!!

hi all
it's the first time for me working with MySql, and when i try to connect to the db, i have the following exception:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
i know that i shall download it from Mysql site, but i don't know WHERE to put it
i'm using forte 3.0 - jdk 1.4.0 on Win2K
please help me!
thanx
sandro

No problem,
in general you should modify the CLASSPATH of your JDK to point to the jar-driver-file, e.g. (on unix): CLASSPATH = "someDirectory"\driverFIle.jar:$CLASSPATH
and then: export CLASSPATH. That should solve your problem. if using windows: Just take a look at systemControlCenter. There it's possible to modify the CLASSPAT-environment.
So far...

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.

Help. JDBCRealm error -- org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver not found

Hi All,
I tried to setup JDBCRealm. After I config. to JDBCRealm and restart tomcat. I got this error:
java.sql.SQLException: org.git.mm.mysql.Driver error.
Can someone help. Thanks

web-inf/lib is not sufficient in this case, as the Tomcat engine needs access to the driver - not just your application.
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html#JDBCRealm
You need to
Place a copy of the JDBC driver you will be using inside the $CATALINA_HOME/server/lib directory (if you do not need it visible to web applications) or $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib (if it will be used both by Tomcat 4 and by your apps).
Cheers.

Java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver when using RMI

I am trying to connect to mysql Db through RMI but i am getting this exception.
When trying to connect to db through a normal class implementation without RMI it is connected succesfully.
What is causing the problem????
Thanks in advace

CLASSPATH, man. The RMI server needs to have the MySQL driver JAR in its CLASSPATH.
That's usually what that exception means.

Org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver under tomcat?

hi all
anybody knows where to put this driver under tomcat in order to let my servlet connect to a MySql db?
thanx all
sandro

sandro
Put the driver on "lib/common/" directory of Tomcat, and since lib is directly located by tomcat when you restart it. You must have to restart the tomcat after copying the file. The folder path may be "/var/tomcat/lib/commomn/" and may vary during installation.
Cheers

Distribute JDBC driver with our application

we are not an oracle customer, but we develop an application that has a component that leverages the JDBC driver to connect to the Oracle database. is it ok to distribute the JDBC driver with this application component? i don't see anything in the licensing policy that prevents us from doing so. do we need to be a member of the oracle partner network at a certain level?
thx.

You were REQUIRED to accept the license agreement prior to downloading the JDBC driver software. It is expected that you will actually READ the license agreement prior to accepting it.
Oracle Database 12c Release 1 JDBC Driver Downloads
You must accept the OTN License Agreement to download this software.
That license agreement CLEARLY answers your question so you should re-read it. You are bound by ALL of the terms but this is copied directly from that link:
License Rights
We grant you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs: (a) for purposes of developing, testing, prototyping and running applications you have developed for your own internal data processing operations; (b) to distribute the programs with applications you have developed to your customers provided that each such licensee agrees to license terms consistent with the terms of this Agreement, you do not charge your end users any additional fees for the use of the programs, and your end users may only use the programs to run your applications for their own business operations; and (c) to use the programs to provide third party demonstrations and training. You are not permitted to use the programs for any purpose other than as permitted under this Agreement. If you want to use the programs for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under this agreement you must contact us, or an Oracle reseller, to obtain the appropriate license. We may audit your use and distribution of the programs. Program documentation is either shipped with the programs, or documentation may accessed online at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/indexes/documentation/index.html.
Item (b) above begins with 'to distribute the programs . . .'
Yes - you can distribute the JDBC driver as long as you abide by that license agreement in its entirety (not just the quote I provided).
Any and all questions need to be directed to Oracle as noted in the License Agreement. No one on the forums can speak for Oracle.

ODBC Driver with VC++ Application

Problem description.
For example if we are reading the EMP table with the following SQL,
select * from emp order by empno;
Step 1: We are reading the EMPNO = 7369 (1st Record)
Column COMM value read will be NULL
Step 2: After that when we read EMPNO = 7499 (2nd record)
Column COMM value read will be 300
Step 3: After that when we read EMPNO = 7521 (3rd record)
Column COMM value read will be 500
Step 4: After that when we read EMPNO = 7566 (4th record)
Column COMM value read will be 500 even though there is no value for COMM in the table.
Please note that we will not be able to change the Application code for this problem resolution.
We request you to give us some solution ASAP.
Should you have doubts in the information sent by us, please do revert back for clarifications.

Dear Justin,
Thanks for the reply and the information.
I am trying from Oracle support.

Qus 2.Did you try applying the latest patch set?
Ans 2.I have tried but it did not work. i.e. Problem continued.

How to Deploy Mysql database with JSF Application

hi,
I have developed web application using JSF which uses a MySQL as Database.The server is localhost, database name is database_123(or watever!), so everything works fine...now this web application is something which i need to run on other computers as well....so do i have to install mySQL server to the computer from which the war file is deployed? if i don't want to install mysql at any computer, then how can i do?
Plz help me! and if possible please tell me or post a article.
Thanx in advance
jsfgeeks

This is what I am trying to figure out what is the best way. I am not worrying about making the SQL Server part of my install, we are going to leave that up to the client. I already have the script to create the DB, I am just trying to find the best way to deliver the data to the SQL Server. Like I said I have T-SQL scripts with insert statements but they end up being huge. I am looking at maybe using ApexSQL Script, as it can make an .exe file that creates the DB and installs the data, but it give me an out of memory error because we have so much data.

Oracle ODBC driver with Access Application

I get a problem when using MS-Access 2007 DAO recordset built on table hosted by an Oracle database 10g and connected thru ODBC
The table scheme is :
idPartenaire : number(11)
libelle : varchar2(250)
code : varchar2(5)
actif : number(1)
idCollege :numner(11)
idPartenaire is generated by a sequence read in a trigger fired before insert on th table.
The code I use in Access is :
The query associated with the form is :
"select * from table1"
and the event procedure connected to a button on the form is :
Private Sub Commande0_Click()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Me.Recordset.AddNew
Me.Recordset!libelle = CStr(Rnd) ' some value
Me.Recordset!code = “”
Me.Recordset!actif = -1
Me.Recordset!idCollege = 1
Me.Recordset.Update
Me.Recordset.Bookmark = Me.Recordset.LastModified
Dim idtemp As Long
idtemp = Me.Recordset.idPartenaire
Me.Requery
Me.Recordset.FindFirst "idPartenaire = " & idtemp
Set rs = Nothing
End Sub
When I run this code, I get an error 3167 (current record is deleted) on the line :
idtemp = Me.Recordset.idPartenaire
If I change the ligne :
Me.Recordset!code = “”
By :
Me.Recordset!code = “xxxx”
or if I comment this line, the error does not appear and I get the right value in idtemp variable.
I tried also with the same table in a SQL Server database table. In this case it works fine in all cases.
So, I seems that the problem is due to the Oracle ODBC driver. I tried with different versions of Oracle ODBC drivers (v10.0.2.4, v11.1.6)
I search on Internet but I have not found any explanation or solution.
Does anybody experiment the same problem (and find a solution)?
Gilles Roussel.

The two lines you quote aren't errors, they're warnings and they're pretty standard fare. If there isn't anything else in the ODBC log, then the driver isn't returning any errors. I'm not sure why Access is failing, so let's look at the client configuration first.
- I assume you've successfully installed the 8.1.6 client on the machine with Access. Were there any errors during the install?
- You say you're using the 8.1.6 version of the Oracle ODBC driver-- can you look to see what the last digit of the version is? If possible, I'd start by downloading the most recent 8.1.6.x ODBC driver from OTN.
- Check which version of the MDAC you have installed (new versions & a version checker are available from Microsoft at <http://www.microsoft.com/data>.
- The ODBC driver you download above will list which versions of the MDAC it is expected to work with. Make sure your version is one of the listed versions.
