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 ?

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 -
I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat/Oracle/Win XP
I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat.
I have attached my server.xml file located in the
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml
The Problem is that when I login I get the user name and password prompt but it does not resolve.
When I enter in the tomcat-users.xml password with memory realm uncommented it works fine.
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\tomcat-users.xml
Is there a cache or something I need to reset for the JDBC Realm to work?
I have attached my tables and contents as well...
Did I miss something????
Thanks
Phil

Problem with JDBC driver for Oracle 10g
Hi.
I've successfully accessed a MySQL database via a DataSource from a servlet (that uses a DAO). However, when I try to do the same with an Oracle 10g Database, I get the error message:
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'
I'm using J2SE1.5.0/5.0 and ojdbc14.jar, the latter of which I downloaded this afternoon as the latest driver JAR available on the Oracle site. As with the MySQL driver, I've placed it in the commons\lib folder within Tomcat. (I've also, of course, made the necessary modifications to server.xml and web.xml.)
Upon examining the ReadMe file at the top of the Oracle download page, I found that the oracle.jdbc.driver package is now deprecated and all references to oracle.jdbc.driver should be replaced with oracle.jdbc. However, I got a similar error message when I tried this modification. Upon examining the contents of ojdbc.jar, I found that the driver was there and that it was, in fact, still oracle\jdbc\driver\OracleDriver!
It appears as though the Oracle site has not been updated with a driver that matches its latest documentation. However, this does not explain why the driver is not even being loacted when it is in the correct place. Can anybody shed any light on this? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
Cheers.
JanI've successfully accessed a MySQL database via a
DataSource from a servlet (that uses a DAO). However,
when I try to do the same with an Oracle 10g
Database, I get the error message:
Cannot load JDBC driver class 'oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver'
That's different from a ClassNotFoundException.
>
I'm using J2SE1.5.0/5.0 and ojdbc14.jar, the latter
of which I downloaded this afternoon as the latest
driver JAR available on the Oracle site. So you got ojdbc14.jar or ojdbc14_g.jar under the 10g drivers?
As with the
MySQL driver, I've placed it in the commons\lib
folder within Tomcat. I think it's a better idea to put in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your Web app rather than commons/lib. WAR files are a very good idea, too.
(I've also, of course, made the
necessary modifications to server.xml and web.xml.)So you're using a JNDI data source? It sounds to me like that's where the problem is.
You should not have to edit the server.xml at all. If you put the <ResourceParams> in a context XML file with the same name as your WAR file into the TOMCAT_HOME/webapps directory it'll be picked up automatically. (It might also be accessible in the META-INF directory for your app, but I haven't done it that way.)
Upon examining the ReadMe file at the top of the
Oracle download page, I found that the
oracle.jdbc.driver package is now deprecated and all
references to oracle.jdbc.driver should be replaced
with oracle.jdbc.
However, I got a similar error
message when I tried this modification. Upon
examining the contents of ojdbc.jar, I found that the
driver was there and that it was, in fact, still
oracle\jdbc\driver\OracleDriver! The fully-resolved class name you should be using MUST match the class that's in the ojdbc14.jar that you're using. Look in the JAR for the definitive answer: the one that I downloaded is still using the oracle.jdbc.driver package for OracleDriver.class. Ignore the docs - use the name that's in the JAR.
It appears as though the Oracle site has not been
updated with a driver that matches its latest
documentation. That often happens with docs.
However, this does not explain why the
driver is not even being loacted when it is in the
correct place. Can anybody shed any light on this?
Any help would be much appreciated.I think the problem lies in your web.xml and server.xml
I'd recommend that you decouple the JDBC from the Web app for now. See if you can connect to Oracle using a simple desktop app and leave the Web piece out of the equation for now. Once you can do that, you'll be certain that the parameters you're using are correct and you can turn your attention to getting the Tomcat configuration right.
PS - I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.1 and Tomcat successfully right now, so it can be done. -
Cannot load JDBC Driver Class in Tomcat5.5 using struts.
Hello to all,
I'm working in the struts environment using Esclipse3.2 IDE.
And I have installed Tomcat5.5 server.I have created the LoginForm

Urgent... unable to load JDBC driver
i have developed a servlet which will establish connection to mySQL.. but it couldn't load the JDBC driver even i placed
[ mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.zip ] in [ C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\jre\lib\ext\ ]
in fact.. it work fine b4 i format my notebook.. anyone can help me??
pls note that i using APACHE TOMCAT and mySQL 3.23
pls help.. very urgent one
the following is my servlet code.....
import java.io.*;
import java.text.*;

Load JDBC-Driver dynamically with JarClassLoader
Hey!
I have a problem loading JDBC drivers dynamically with a JarClassLoader:
Code:
public class URLLoaderTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
URL[] urlList = {new File("D:\\jbuilder5\\SQLServerJDBC\\lib\\mssqlserver.jar").toURL(),
new File("D:\\jbuilder5\\SQLServerJDBC\\lib\\msbase.jar").toURL(),
new File("D:\\jbuilder5\\SQLServerJDBC\\lib\\msutil.jar").toURL()};
ClassLoader classLoader = new URLClassLoader(urlList);
Class c = Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver",true,classLoader);
Object d = c.newInstance();
DriverManager.registerDriver((Driver)d);
// DriverManager.getDrivers() Enumeration is empty
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://Server:1433","test","test");
DatabaseMetaData meta = conn.getMetaData();
System.out.println("JDBC driver version is " + meta.getDriverVersion());
catch (Exception e) {System.out.println(e.getMessage());}
}Problem:
Till the DriverManager registraton everything is ok.
The registerDriver Method throws no exception but if I call DriverManager.getDrivers() after calling the registerDriver Method an empty Enumeration is returned.
So the driver is not loaded and DriverManager.getConnection throws an Exception (no suitable driver).
If I include the driver jars into the Classpath everything is running (but that isn't what I want to do).
Is there a solution for this problem? Maybe it is possible to load the data into the AppClassLoader??!!
Thanx in advance.Found a solution!
For everyone who is interested:
public class URLLoaderTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
URL[] urlList = {new File("D:\\jbuilder5\\SQLServerJDBC\\lib\\mssqlserver.jar").toURL(),
new File("D:\\jbuilder5\\SQLServerJDBC\\lib\\msbase.jar").toURL(),
new File("D:\\jbuilder5\\SQLServerJDBC\\lib\\msutil.jar").toURL()};
ClassLoader classLoader = new URLClassLoader(urlList);
Class c = Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver",true,classLoader);
Object d = c.newInstance();

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 -
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
KittyHi 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!

Initialization error: Loading jdbc driver
Hi ,
In a file-XI-JDBC scenario, i am getting this error. "Initialization error: Loading jdbc driver 'com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver' failed: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver".
but i have installed/deployed third party SQL driver on J2ee server thru SDM.
Can any one sort out this problem.
Rgds
SridharHi,
try looking into the log viewer in Vsual Administrator. Usually you can find more information about the problem there.
Also try redeploying the driver again.
cheers,

java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null'my classes12.jar find in $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib
where is ma error ?
thanks a lot.GlobalNamingResources?
I sent up a data source for each app, like this:

suffix=".txt"
timestamp="true"/>
<Resource name="jdbc/APIPrototype"

</Context>This works fine on Tomcat 4.1.24. I don't know where you got that example from, but I'd recommend that you look at the Tomcat JNDI How-to:

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.
