Hi ya,
Let's share this with the others ;-), and I think this should be mentioned
in the docs.
Anyway, here how I do it, I place the *driver directory tree* in the
directory as the other class files. For example, my servlet application is
called, myApplet, and I put all the class files for this app in myClasses,
so the directory tree will look like this,
myApplet-->myApplet.jsp
|
---->myClasses
|
------>(class files for the applet)
|
------>org(this is for the MySQL driver)
|
---->gjt
|
---->mm
[...]
See the deep directory tree for the driver, but all you need to do is unjar
it. If you use WinZip, right click on the driver file and unzip (unjar) it.
I hope you will find this useful.
