Serious problem of jdbc-mysql connectivity using tomcat

Question

hi everybody
i m in serious problem since last 15-20 days. i m trying hard to make the connection jdbc-mysql using tomcat with the help of a jsp test page but every time i am facing almost the similar probems listed below in detail:
to make sure that the jdrivers's .jar (mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar) available for such connections working fine i have tried the above said connection without using tomcat....which is working fine...for this i have created a dummy database with a dummy table ..and written some queries in the .java file of my code which upon running inserts the specified values in the defined(dummy) database.
this is the confirmation that the classpath etc..are ok in regard to the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar
now i have placed a copy of this .jar file in to the commons/lib directory of the tomcat web server(which is suppossed to be the place for such external jars)
after doing so i have followed 2 methods :
method 1st:........
i have made aone more jar file from the following .java file....
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.sql.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class TestSQLLoad
String user = "Not Connected";
String pwd = "no pwd";
int id = -1;
public void init() {
try{
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
if(ctx == null ) {
throw new Exception("Boom - No Context");
DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/TestDB");
if (ds != null) {
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
if(conn != null) {
user = "Got Connection "+conn.toString();
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
String q = "select name, password, id from user";
ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery(q);
if(rst.next()) {
user=rst.getString(1);
pwd=rst.getString(2);
id = rst.getInt(3);
conn.close();
}catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public String getUser() {
return user;
public String getPassword() {
return pwd;
public int getID()
return id;
after compiling it at the cmd prompt i made a .jar file from the .class of it and named it MySQLLoad.jar...then i placed it also in to the commons/lib directory where the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar was already placed.
then i have changed the server.xml and web.xml files from the conf directory of the tomcat as given here:
server.xml

after all this i have taken a jsp page whose code is here:
(the mysql database used is named as "testdb" and the table name is "user" which is having fields name,password and id)
<html>
<head>
<title>DB Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
TestSQLLoad tst = new TestSQLLoad ( );
tst.init();
%>
<h2>Results</h2>
User <%= tst.getUser() %>
Pwd <%= tst.getPassword() %>
Id <%= tst.getID() %>
</body>
</html>
and placed it in to the Tomcat 5.5\webapps\tomcat-docs\testdb directory and saved as test-db.jsp
when i run this page on the browser i get a lot may errors stating
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
An error occurred at line: 12 in the jsp file: /testdb/test-db.jsp
Generated servlet error:

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/5.5.4 logs.
AND NOW WHEN just to get rid of such errords i try to include a statement
<%@ page import="pkg.TestSQLLoad" %> in the jsp page code (and also place the MySQLLoad.class file in a folder called pkg and place it in the same directory where the jsp page is )and make it look like
<html>
<head>
<%@ page import="pkg.TestSQLLoad" %>
<title>DB Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
TestSQLLoad tst = new TestSQLLoad ( );
tst.init();
%>
<h2>Results</h2>
User <%= tst.getUser() %>
Pwd <%= tst.getPassword() %>
Id <%= tst.getID() %>
</body>
</html>
now when i run it i get the following errors:
exception

in response to the above error i have even tried placing the MySQLLoad.class directly in the testdb folder along with the jsp page without keeping it in a package named pkg and then importing directly as <@page import="MySQLLoad" %>
that too gave me the following errors

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802)
and if i do not use the statement <%@ page import="MySQLLoad"%> then also i get the errors like

THE 2nd Method:
in my second method i did the same changes in the web.xml and server.xml
then i took a jsp page with the following code:
<%@ page import="javax.sql.*,java.sql.*,javax.naming.*,com.mysql.jdbc.*" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> trial doc </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<h1>Trial Document</h1>
<% InitialContext context=new InitialContext( );
DataSource dataSource=(DataSource) context.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/testdb");
Connection conn=dataSource.getConnection();
Statement stmt=conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rset=stmt.executeQuery("select * from user");
if (rset.next()){
%>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr align="left">
<th>name</th> <th>password</th><th>id</th>
</tr>
<%
do {
%>
<tr><td> <%=rset.getString(1)%> </td>
<td><%=rset.getString(2) %></td>
<td><%=rset.getString(3) %></td></tr>
<%
} while (rset.next());
%>
</table>
<%
} else{
%>
No results from query
<%
rset.close();
stmt.close();
conn.close();
context.close();
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
