SQL driver setup

Question

Hi all,
I am sure you must have sen this a million times before but i am rather new to all of this so any help would be appericiated.
I am trying to set up a connection manager class to link to a MySql database. I am using the resin mysql driver and the code compiles fine. whenever i try to run it though it throws out the following:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.caucho.jdbc.mysql.Driver
And yes i have set the classpath to point at the jar file containing the driver and the only import i have is java.sql.* the code itself is:
protected Connection con;
protected String driver ="com.caucho.jdbc.mysql.Driver";
protected String url ="jdbc:mysql-caucho://192.168.0.165:3306/store";
/** Laod the driver and make connection to the database */
public Connection logOn() {
try{
Class.forName( driver );
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"","");
} catch(Exception ex) {ex.printStackTrace();}
return con;
Whenever i try to use the logOn() method i get the above error

Answer 1

I don't have the driver that you refer to available here but I've seen this problem pop-up before and after lengthy investigation turn out to be a misspelled package / class in the driver class name. I'm implying nothing about your abilities but it might be worth double-checking before you investigate further.
