ClassNotFoundException com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
- by Dusk
This question might have asked here number of times . After doing some google search for the above error and doing some update, I can't understand why I'm still getting that error. I've already put my driver-- mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin in the classpath:
Java_Home\jre\lib\
Java_Home\jre\lib\ext\
Java_Home\lib
and the code which I'm using to connect to mysql database is:
try{
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mail","root","");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select message_body from deadletter");
String dbtime;
while (rs.next()) {
dbtime = rs.getString(1);
System.out.println(dbtime);
}
con.close();
}
catch (SQLException e) {
System.out.println("Connection Failed! Check output console");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
and the complete stacktrace of the above exception is:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc:Driver

Now, what's wrong I'm doing here?
