Hi all, does anyone know how I should set the Class Path Variable in Windows in order for JSP to search for the library? I've already tried the following methods but it cannot find the driver when I tried to load an jsp page: Method 1 I've currently install the JDBC driver on my C:\mysql\JDBC\ And have tried setting my classpath to point to that folder as below Set CLASSPATH=C:\mysql\JDBC\;. Method 2 Copied mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar to C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\common\lib And simply set my classpath=. Method 3 Copied mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar to C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02\jre\lib And again set my classpath=. I've also tried setting my classpath to point specifically to the JDBC driver but still, the page cannot find the driver. The only method that works now is that I've copied mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar to my /webapps/testAPPS/WEB-INF/lib Using this method, which means I have a copy of mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar in every docBase that I have which I find is redundant. Is there any working solution that I can simply set in using my CLASSPATH? Also, I have no problem setting it in CLASSPATH in Linux but I dunno why it doesn't work in Windows. :-( Now that is reason why I preferred Linux. Regards, Joe I've tried a lot of combination and have copy mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar to
