Never connect to a database inside a JSP!!!

That said, have you tried checking the JDBC FAQ? It doesn't look like your register the driver, ie Class.forName().

Have mysql-connector jar file in tomcat lib since all other web applications will use it...

And make sure that the CLASSPATH has been set for mysql-connector jar in tomcat lib...

There are two ways to get the Connection Object

1)DataSource
2)DriverManager

seems like you are trying both if you are just doing some test application use DriverManager find out the difference between DataSource and DriverManager
