I have been searching all around for a solution to my problem and the only solution i have found is to add the jar file that i already have. This is done in eclipse EE and is useing tomcat.
I am running a different HTML file which links to this piece of code once a button is pressed, if you want that code feel free to ask, but there is almost nothing on it.
I keep getting the error "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.driver" along with 100 other lines which i'm not sure are conencted.
Here is what i have:
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.Driver;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
/**

String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/";
String dbName = "test";
String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.driver";
String userName = "root";
String password = "games10";
try {
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
Connection conn = (Connection) `enter code here`DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
Statement stat = conn.createStatement();
//stat.execute("CREATE TABLE test (Name CHAR(20))");
stat.execute("INSERT INTO TEST VALUES('"+request.getParameter("first_name")+"')");
conn.close();
System.out.println("Working");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

}
}
I apolagize if i have posted the code wrong, ive never used this site before and am tired. As i have said i have imported the "mysql-connector-java-5.1.30-bin.jar" file. All help is accepted with open arms and critisism also.
Thank you for your time
