That's just not good advice at all. I don't know where people get the idea of touching CLASSPATH when they're talking about Tomcat and web-apps in general. Drivers should be placed in common/lib or WEB-INF/lib. That's IT. And mm.mysql.driver?
You mean: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver And one last rant, as Chris Williams started to point out... ODBC is a Microsoft data access abstraction layer. ODBC = Microsoft Way of doing it JDBC = Java way of doing it So you'd only download or use the ODBC driver if you were accessing MySql from a VB or C# program. > -----Original Message----- > From: Schalk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 6:20 AM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Connetion between Tomcat & MySQL > > > There is two things you can do.
