I am writing servlet to connect with mysql database using mysqlconnector java but it is giving error
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
I have tried same with core java using the same driver it is connecting to mysql and query is also running but using servlet it is not working.
my code is for servlet is:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public class RegisterServlet extends HttpServlet {
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String n = request.getParameter("userName");
String p = request.getParameter("password");
String e = request.getParameter("email");
String c = request.getParameter("course");
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection conn = null;
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/phpmyadmin/saiiff","root", "");
PreparedStatement ps = conn
.prepareStatement("insert into eemeze values(?,?,?,?)");
ps.setString(1, n);
ps.setString(2, p);
ps.setString(3, e);
ps.setString(4, c);
int i = ps.executeUpdate();
if (i > 0)
out.print("You are successfully registered...");
} catch (Exception e2) {
System.out.println(e2);
}
out.close();
}
}
