not able to connect to database through JSP page

635127May 20 2008 — edited May 28 2008
Hello Everyone,

I'm creating a simple JSP page (helloworld.jsp) that would get info from the db and display it but when I point my browser to http://localhost:8080/helloworld.jsp, I get ClassNotFound exception.
<html>
<head>
<title>My first JSP page
</title>
</head>
<body>
<%@page import="java.sql.*" %>
<%
	try{
	Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
	String url = "jdbc:mysql:///" + "trylnp";
	String user = "root";
	String pass = "welcome";
	Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,pass);  
	out.println("here");
	if((conn != null)&&(!conn.isClosed()))
	{
		out.println("Connected...");
	}
	String releasenum="3.1.48A";
	String query = "Select * from releasedata where releaseno='" + releasenum + "'; ";
	Statement s = conn.createStatement();
	ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(query);
	while(rs.next())
	{
		String useraction = rs.getString("useraction");
		String releaseno = rs.getString("releaseno");
		int ninetyfivepercentile = rs.getInt("ninetyfivepercentile");
		int ninetypercentile = rs.getInt("ninetypercentile");
		int fiftypercentile = rs.getInt("fiftypercentile");
		out.println("useraction : ");
		out.println("releaseno : ");
		out.println("ninetyfivepercentile : ");
		out.println("ninetypercentile : ");
		out.println("fiftypercentile : ");				
	}
	}
	catch(Exception e ){
		out.println(e);
        }
%>
</body>
</html> 
I've properly set my classpath to C:\Program Files\mysql-connector-java-5.1.6\mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar
and also put the jar file in all the WEB-INF sub folders inside C:\apache-tomcat-6.0.16\webapps (I know it had to go in one of the WEB-INF dir, but as I was not sure which one, I put the jar file in all of the WEB-INF folders)

Please, do let me know if u know how to resolve the issue. It'll be a big help.

Thanks.
