Make sure you have "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" in your web application. It will be contained in a .jar and it needs to go with your other java libraries you use.

please tell me which .jar file has to saved and where in jdk or in tomcat althought i have mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar file that i have copied in tomcat in libs .please tel are u talking about this .jar file now wat i have to do?please guide me kindly

I don't know what .jar the mysql driver is in. It shouldn't be that hard to find with a google. The .jar file goes into your web app directory under "WEB-INF\lib".

Copy that jar file into WEB-INF/lib, not into just any generic tomcat lib directory.

yes i have copied the .jar files in WEB-INF/lib but still when i have compiled database connectivity program with mysql in java it gave the same error.

Is there any need to copy the .jar files(that are mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin) in jdk.If so then where these files should be copied in order to include in the class path of java.please answer it to solve my problme.thanx

Here is tutorial how to set PATH and CLASSPATH for java

I have the same problem. Try to copy MySQL connector jar file to
%JAVA_HOME%/jre/lib/ext/

Bad, bad, bad. Never copy anything to the lib/ext directory of the jre. Learn how to use and set classpaths properly. If he has the proper jarfile, and places it in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the web application he is trying to reach, the classes will be found. If they are not, he has done something wrong. Either copied it to the lib directory of the wrong application, not copied the right jarfile, or, maybe, somehow or another, changed the tomcat configuration so that it does not look there. Sorry to say it, but all of those things are "his problem", and copying anything to the lib/ext directory is not the answer, regardless of whether or not "it works".
