how to get mysql db file in webapps for connectivity

[palavi]

hi,
i ve hospitaldb created in MYSQl, i have connectivity problem like

String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://eall:3306/hospitaldb";

    // declare a connection by using Connection interface 
    Connection connection = null;

    // declare object of Statement interface that uses for executing sql statements.
     PreparedStatement pstatement = null;

	// Load JBBC driver "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
     Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.hospitaldb").newInstance();

and here

connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "eall", "e123");

i knoe to do this in MS access.i need database file in webapps in which i va created in MYSQl

It might be, could be in /usr/share or /usr/share/bin, is it giving a classnotfound when you try to use it this way?
