Hey. I'm new to SQL and I've got Apache/Jakarta Tomcat 5.5 and Eclipse Helios (3.6). I'm trying to setup what is essentially a functioning online bookstore like amazon.com (though business practices such as secure connections for transactions are not to be implemented at this time) using JSP. For some reason it keeps giving me "no appropriate drivers" messages when I'm trying to connect to my database. This is a major snag as I can't do any testing/coding whatsoever until this is fixed. Can anybody explain why I'm having this problem and/or how to fix it?
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
No suitable driver found for URL
null
EDIT: problem solved, solution: download Connector/J (file mysql-connector-java-5.1.13.jar) and move it into the Java Runtime Environment lib\ext directory (mine, for example, is at C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext\) and and the location to the CLASSPATH environment variable.
