I have the following code, which is quite simple and used to connect to the db, but I keep getting the error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: connect (wrong name: Connect)
I'm trying to connect to mySQL using the mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin.jar jdbc driver, which I placed in the CLASSPATH. Here's the code: import java.sql.*; public class Connect { public static void main(String args[]) { Connection con = null; try { Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"); System.out.println("JDBC driver loaded"); con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/ash ?user=ashahata&password=ash123"); System.out.println("Database connection established"); } catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) { System.out.println("ClassNotFoundException: Could not locate driver"); } catch (SQLException cnfe) { System.out.println("SQLException: "+cnfe); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("An unknown error occurred while connecting to the database"); } finally { try { if ( con != null ) con.close(); } catch(SQLException sqle) { System.out.println("Unable to close database connection."); } } } } =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
