Hi,
i am trying to create a Vaadin Application.
I want to user Mysql with the with SimpleJDBCConnectionPool.
I got this code from the Tutorial:
connectionPool = new SimpleJDBCConnectionPool( "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver",
"jdbc:mysql://192.168.254.100:3306/addressbook",
"root",
"123abcABC");
The Problem is, that i got this error:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Addressbook Application]
in context with path
[/AddressBook] threw exception [java.lang.RuntimeException: Specified JDBC Driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver - initialization failed.]
with root cause
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
I found some threads with the problem and they all fixed it, by adding the mysql-connector to the project. But i tried and i didnt get it to work in eclipse.
I copied the jar (downloaded from mysql) to my projectfolder in new folder libs.
Then i added the Jar like this: Rightclick on Project → Properties → Java Build Path → Libaries → Add Jar and then i got the “Folder” Addressbook/libs/mysql-connector-java5.1.2.4-bin.jar.
But the problem still persists.
How do i add the jar correctly to eclipse project ?
Thanx for helping me.
greetings xasz
