Question

Hi,
I am a new user in this forum..
I have just installed tomcat and mysql and jdbc fresh on my new system..
first of all here is what i have done...
i have installed mysql integrated in xampp at c:\xampp\mysql
i have installed my tomcat at C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5
i have put jdbc <dirver>.jar file copied in all sorts of directories like ....
<tomcat_home>\common\lib
<tomcat_home>\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\ext
<java_home>\lib
<java_home>\jre\lib\ext
my calsspath looks something like this
.;C:\Programme\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip;C:\Programme\"Apache Software Foundation"\"Tomcat 5.5"\common\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar;C:\Programme\"Apache Software Foundation"\"Tomcat 5.5"\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar;C:\Programme\"Apache Software Foundation"\"Tomcat 5.5"\common\lib\servlet-api.jar;C:\Programme\"Apache Software Foundation"\"Tomcat 5.5"\common\lib\jsp-api.jar;C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\activation.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\axis.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\axis-ant.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\commons-discovery-0.2.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\commons-logging-1.0.4.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\jaxrpc.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\mail.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\saaj.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar;C:\Programme\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\lib\mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar
which is basically all the jar files in the web-inf\lib folder and references to all the copies of driver as mentioned before
these are results of a lot of desperatio but still the code which i run....
package mypackage;
import java.sql.*;
public class JDBCConnector
public static void main(String[] arg) throws Exception
     System.out.println("Initiating Database Mysql Connection");
     //try {
               Statement stmt;
                    //     Register the JDBC driver for MySQL.
               Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver ").newInstance();
                    //     Define URL of database server for
                    // database named mysql on the localhost
                    //      with the default port number 3306.
               String url = "jdbc:mysql://wifh-1.fhso.ch:3306/";
                    //          Get a connection to the database for a
                    // user named root with a blank password.
                    // This user is the default administrator
                    // having full privileges to do anything.
               Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"root", "birnExy");
                    //Display URL and connection information
               System.out.println("URL: " + url);
               System.out.println("Connection: " + con);
                    //Get a Statement object
               stmt = con.createStatement();
                    //     Create the new database
               stmt.executeUpdate("CREATE DATABASE JunkDB3");
                    //Register a new user named auser on the
                    // database named JunkDB with a password
                    // drowssap enabling several different
                    // privileges.
               stmt.executeUpdate("GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE," +"CREATE,DROP " +"ON JunkDB3.* TO 'nishant'@'localhost' " +"IDENTIFIED BY 'nishant';");
               con.close();
     //}catch( Exception e ) {
          //     e.printStackTrace();
     //}//end catch
          //return hook;
     }//end main
}//end class JDBCConnector
gives the following error.....
