java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:com.mysql.jdbc.Driver [duplicate]

problem is not in the code, but you don’t have added the driver to your project!!! You have to add the *.jar driver to your project…

Try putting this in your lib directory, then re-starting tomcat…

problem is Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); it tries to load the driver, but it is not getting it, this is the reason you are getting:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException.
