David!
It still does'nt work. Here is my directory structure
%CATALINA_ROOT%\webapps\myapp
my jsps and HTML are in myapp folder
The \WEB-INF\classes\conf folder has my db.properties file.
The \WEB-INF\lib folder contains myapp.jar and the Connector/J mySQL driver jar. The myapp.jar contains classes inpackage structure similar to this org.xxx.web;
The bean in this package says it cannot find the db.properties file and raises FileNotFoundException.
Here is that code snippet
This is my URL and Driver Class
URL : mysql:jdbc://localhost:3306/tamilini?user=tamuser
Driver : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver And this is the Exception
-thanks
