I am trying a sample application that uses JNDI. But when I try to run one servlet I get the following error:
C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\jndi-datasource\WEB-INF\classes \com\servlet>javac JndiDatasourceServlet.java JndiDatasourceServlet.java:15: package com.sql does not exist import com.sql.JndiDatasource; ^ JndiDatasourceServlet.java:35: cannot find symbol symbol : class JndiDatasource location: class com.servlet.JndiDatasourceServlet JndiDatasource jnd = new JndiDatasource(); ^ JndiDatasourceServlet.java:35: cannot find symbol symbol : class JndiDatasource location: class com.servlet.JndiDatasourceServlet JndiDatasource jnd = new JndiDatasource(); ^ 3 errors
Is this a problem with the classpath? Would really appreciate help in this regards. Thanks Ricky [ March 26, 2007: Message edited by: Ricky James ]
You need to include whichever Jar contains the class com.sql.JndiDatasource in your web application's classpath. I'm not familiar with it - is it something you have written yourself?
No I haven't written it myself. I am just trying to copy and run the code. Although the instructions simply say: mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar) must be available in Tomcat's CLASSPATH (e.g. $Tomcat_Home/common/lib). I have copy-pasted the jar file in the lib directory and also added the path C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib; to TOMCAT_HOME. But it still is not working. Ricky
You are compiling the servlet code and not running it. You need to specify the jars in the classpath of javac using the flag -classpath eg: javac -classpath /localdisk/jars/j2ee.jar JndiDatasourceServlet.java

Thanks for the reply Nitesh but I didn't really understand this. Can you be a little more specific please?
I mean what should "-classpath /localdisk/jars/j2ee.jar" really point to?

It needs to point to the jars containing all the classes your code uses. So you need to include the jar file that includes the class com.servlet.JndiDatasource. As far as I am aware this is not a class that is part of the MySQL driver, not is it part of J2EE or Tomcat. So you need to find where it is and include it in your classpath.
