It looks like you don't have the driver in your classpath for it to be used by your simple application.
If you haven't already downloaded it, head over to mysql site and grab yourself the driver and add it to your project path. Again, always make sure you have a small runnable code sample to help reproduce the same issue. this should help us run the code and see where the problem lies. The code you included does not show us any mistakes you may have in the rest of the code.
