Hi all,
Thank you for the reply, I use eclipes to run hibernate programmer
I add mysql-connector-java-5.0.3-bin to my lib file then it work.
but I have the following questions
1) <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/hibernatetutorial</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">root</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">mysql</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.pool_size">10</property>
<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
if I add 3306 on it, I know that is the default port I did not change it
how come it not work?
and I found mysql-connector-java-3.1.6-bin.jar and mysql-connector-java-3.0.16-ga-bin.jar if I deleat those two jar file, the whole package not work too ?
Why I need this two jars
thank you
