hi guys

here is my problems: mainly i don't know how to use connector/j with tomcat in windows,i mean how to install it so that tomcat can use it.
I have already install tomcat as a service and it just works fine. now i have the mysql connector/j folder unzipped but i don't know what to do with it. in case i made the configuration properly how will i test if it works or start the database server,
and at last how will i create the databases and the tables i'm going to use in my jsp application, i know on linux you can do it as a command line.

thanks
