JDBC driver class not found error in struts-hibernate integration project

Question

I am working on struts-hibernate integration project. When I enter data in input JSP, the output JSP shows text result as data stored in database. But actually no data is getting stored & showing the following error:

org.hibernate.HibernateException: JDBC Driver class not found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

1 more thing I wanna ask is a new window has popped up titled as"JLoEndpoint.class" which had message as source not found with - The JAR file C:\program files\apache-tomcat-7.0.47\lib\tomcat-coyote.jar has no source attachment. What can I do?

Answer 1

First of all, be sure to have the jar containing the driver in the classpath. If you do not have the jar, you can download it from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/mysql/mysql-connector-java

Answer 2

You need to download jar containing com.mysql.jdbc.Driver you can download jar from here and set your classpath

Answer 3

Seems like you have not included the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver into the class path of your project. 1.First download the mysqldriver 2.if you are using the eclipse than go to Project->BuildPath->Configure Buil path -> Libraries Tab - > Add external jar and than select the mysql driver jar which you have downloaded 3. Rebuild or clean the project 4.Deploy the project again.
