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.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class LoginServlet extends HttpServlet {
static final String dbURL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost" ;
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException {
Connection conn = null;
String nextJSP = null;
try {
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new ServletException("Unable to load JDBC driver");
}

i already add new variable in environment variables
variable name = CLASSPATH
variable value = C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\jre\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar;
but the same output is come up.. still unable to load my JDBC driver in TOMCAT... y?

  • Unable to load JDBC driver

    Hello All -
    I'm new to Java and I'm attempting to connect a newly created MySQL database to a simple Java application as shown here.
    import java.sql.*;
    public class SimpleJDBC {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException{
    // Load the JDBC driver
    Class.forName("c:/Drew/JDBCon/mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar");
    System.out.println("Driver Loaded!!!");
    // Establish a connection
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://root/ce_workshop");
    System.out.println("Database connected");
    // Create a statement
    //Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    // Execute a statement
    //ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM XXX");
    // Iterate through the results
    //while (resultSet.next())
    // System.out.println(resultSet.getString(1));
    // Close the connection
    connection.close();
    1) I've setup a the following directory in Microsoft Windows:
    C:\Drew\JDBCon\
    2) I've added the mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar file to the C:\Drew\JDBCon\ directory
    3) I've added the SimpleJDBC.java file to the C:\Drew\JDBCon\ directory
    4) I've compiled the SimpleJDBC.java file using the following:
    C:\Drew\JDBCon>javac -cp C:/Drew/JDBCon SimpleJDBC.java
    5) Then I run the file:
    C:\Drew\JDBCon>java -cp C:/Drew/JDBCon SimpleJDBC
    But get the following error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: c:/Drew/JDBCon/mysql-connector-java-5.0.6-bin.jar
         at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
         at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)

    I've tried many things, but nothing seems to work.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi jschell,
    Just a little background...
    For the last 4-5 years, I've been using Microsoft Access and VBA to develop databases and small utilities to assist in certain jobs at the company I work for.  Due to being a small division of a large corporation, and the reluctance for upper management to modify the purchased company databases, a small group of us started simple data extracts years ago and then uploaded the data it into Microsoft Access for both analytical and reporting purposes.  As you may know, Access is very limited, and we�ve taken it far beyond the intended limit.  We deliberately do not load some data tables due to the overwhelming size (2+ million records).
    In the last 6 months, in my free time, I�ve taken the initiative to learn (or attempt to learn) both MySQL and Java (SQL is no problem for me).  I�ve bought �Introduction to Java Programming - Comprehensive Version - 5th Edition� and read a good majority of it (some parts skimmed) along with reading a MySQL book; majority of it being SQL that I already understand and have for years.
    I completed the book last week; keep in mind, not in utter detail.  I had thought that I could get started with a simple application that would connect to a simple MySQL table and then build an understanding of the Java language from there.
    I didn�t mention in my last post that I was able to get the MySQL driver to load and a connection established in Netbeans.  I figured that instead of completely relying on Netbeans for my first real application that I should get it to work through the DOS prompt.
    I realize that my understanding of Java is probably at a 3 on a scale of 1-100 right now, however that is why I�m writing to this forum.  My main goal is to get the simplest possible application running using a MySQL driver and obtain a connection.  I would greatly appreciate any help in getting this done, or a recommended website tutorial on creating a simple JDBC application.  I�ve attempted to find these, and did, but wasn�t able to find anything that I could understand.
    Also, I do understand classes and that you import, extend, or inherit them when writing programs, I just haven�t had the chance yet to practice this.

    Drew

  • 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.

    Ok, some questions:
    1. Did you enable mysql in php.ini?
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LAMP#MySQL
    2. Did you read / follow the torrentflux installation guide included with the installation?
    (if not, check here: http://www.torrentflux.com/)
    3. I have not worked with the package from AUR, the package form the official site (again, http://www.torrentflux.com/) works well for me. Did you try this?

  • Unable to Load USB Driver in LV for Total Phase's Aardvark I2C adaptor

    I have tried to instal Total Phase's Aardvark I2C USB driver for LabVIEW on two computers and two versions of LV (8.5 and 7.1) without success. The Windows driver seems to be working fine as their command center gui terminal-esque program works without a hitch, but the LV DLL doesn't seem to work.
    Attached is the very simple vi to find connected Aardvark USB devices (aa_find_devices). It always returns the same error code, 8002, which resolves to:
    AA_UNABLE_TO_LOAD_DRIVER
    -2
    unable to load USB driver
    From their documentation: http://www.totalphase.com/docs/aardvark_datasheet/​sect005/#s5.9
    This looks like perhaps the LabVIEW DL, "aardvark.dll" maybe having a versioning issue. So my question is this: Using LabVIEW, how does one debug dll dependencies and resolve issues like this? Do I need the source code for the lib?
     Cheers,
    Joe Gorse
    Solved!

    Dear Joe,
    Let me start off by apologizing for the inconvenience you
    have gone through.  I am an engineer at Total Phase.  We are
    working on fixing this issue for our next release of the
    Aardvark LabVIEW Driver.  This forum post was only brought
    to our attention today.  In the future, you can also let
    Total Phase know about these kinds of issues by emailing
    [email protected]  We are very responsive through
    email or phone.
    The problem you are experiencing has to do with versioning
    issues between our DLL and USB driver.  Specifically, DLLs
    before v5.xx must use the older version of our USB driver.
    By replacing the DLL from our latest version of Control
    Center, you have effectively upgraded the DLL that the
    LabVIEW driver is using and made it compatible with v2.xx of
    the USB driver.
    The most likely reason that smercurio_fc did not see a
    difference between the DLL in Aardvark Control Center and
    the LabVIEW driver is because he is using an older version
    of Control Center and correspondingly an older version of
    the USB driver.
    The reason that we have not packaged the LabVIEW driver with
    latest DLL is due to the fact that a few functions have
    changed their function prototypes (for example aa_open_ext
    and aa_spi_write), and the VIs have not yet been updated
    accordingly.  Although updating the DLL solved your USB
    driver issue, it introduced this new issue.  If you try to
    use these certain VIs, LabVIEW will error out.
    We are currently working on updating the LabVIEW drivers to
    work cohesively with the new DLL and USB driver, and this
    should be available soon.  If you need immediate
    availability to the functions with new prototypes you will
    have to change it manually.  The other recommended option is
    to simply revert back to the DLL that is packaged with our
    LabVIEW driver and downgrade the USB driver back to v1.xx.
    I will make sure to post again once the update is released,
    and I once again apologize for the inconvenience.
    Best regards,
    Etai

    I am not sure why it is not able to get the Driver since the required jar is there in lib folder? Am I missing something ?
    Edited by: sb-onward on Jul 30, 2009 6:01 PM

    Hi,
    Make sure you have set the Classpath in CRConfig.xml for the jdbc jar.
    Place the CrConfig.xml  in the classes directory of your application.
    Please let me know the results.

  • Sun IDM Repositor Configuration Error: Failed to load JDBC Driver

    Hi Gurus,
    I am new to Java IDM and predictably failed in my first attempt to install Java IDM in a Windows machine with SQL Server 2000 SP3.
    I followed the Installation document step by step and I think I din' t miss any!!.. But still I got caught by an error, here it is:
    I successfully installed IDM but failed while configuring Repository. I have downloaded the JDBC driver from Microsoft for SQL Server 2000, SP3. Then after that I copied the Jar from JDBC driver folder to
    %WSHOME%/bin/lib folder. After this I launched the Repository configuration setup.
    I got the following error while trying to connect the waveset database with Repository type as SQL Server (JDBC Driver)
    com.waveset.util.ConfigurationError: Failed to load JDBC Driver 'com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver':
    ==> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    The Parameters that I have given for connection are:
    URL: jdbc:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433;DatabaseName=waveset
    JDBC Driver: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
    Connect as User: waveset
    Connect Password: waveset
    I have created the database and granted all access to user waveset.
    Please help me come out of this. I tried dropping and recreating the database with a different name. Still it did not work, looks like it is a JDBC driver specific issue. Please guide me if I did anything wrong.
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks

    Open your driver jar using winzip or something and check if the class: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver is present in the jar. I think you need to use a different class name. or your jar file is wrong. I think there are separate jars for SQL server 2000 and for SQL Server 2005.

  • 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):

    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

    Post the part of your code that loads the driver and connects. My guess is you are using a variable for the name of the driver and the variable has not been set to anything(intially set to null).

  • 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" >

    In MyApp/WEB-INF/web.xml:

    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
    Kitty

    Hi 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!
    Wouter van Reeven
    public User authenticate(String username, String
    g password)
    throws AuthenticationException, UnknownException
    ption {
    Connection conn = null;

  • 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

    Hi,
    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.
