Hi TOMCAT remind me where to put jar files (can't find MySQL driver)
OK, I've been putting JAR files in web-inf/classes just like Tomcat seems to like it, and suddenly the line Class.forName(jdbcDriver) (which occurs not in a JSP but a JAVA class called by a bean which is used by the JSP) throws the exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver I've checked about 11 times that the jar file containing this class is in web-inf/classes Thanks for any ideas Jonathan

PS 1 it USED to work PS 2 now I copied mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar to $TOMCAT_HOME/lib as well, and restarted TOMCAT, and still it doesn't work.

Jonathan, Individual class files go into WEB-INF/classes. However, .jar and .zip files go into WEB-INF/lib. Try creating WEB-INF/lib and putting your .jar file in there. --Brett.

Problem solved. Thank you everyone for reading this far. It works now that I have correctly copied the MySQL driver jar file into $TOMCAT_HOME/lib
