public class ShowBedrock extends HttpServlet

Hope this will help you.

Download the MySQL JDBC driver from the MySQL web site (or if you are building using Maven, you can let Maven download it for you) and add it to the "-cp" parameter on your command line. For example, assume the driver is in the current directory, and that my classes are in the target/classes directory, and my main class is org.peter.Main, then I would use:

java -cp target/classes:mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar org.peter.Main

Oh, wait, you are attempting to access the database from a servlet. In that case, place the mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar in the library directory of the servlet container or application server you are using. What app server are you using? If we knew that we could offer more specific advice.
