[sunithamm]

Hi all,
i created a web service using JAX-WS. I am not able to connect to mysql database from the serivice. i am getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver . I included mysql connector jar in the project. I am using eclipse IDE for the development.

Regards,
Sunitha

You may have included the jar file (somehow) in the project, but it's not being included in the runtime path.

thank you so much for your reply.
Can you please tell me how to include jar file in the runtime path?

How are you running this?
Presumably it's on some Tomcat instance?

[sunithamm]

yes
i am running it on tomcat server instance

[Tolls]

So, when you deploy the app to Tomcat, does the driver jar get transferred to the lib directory along with any other jars you need?

If not, then Eclipse isn't packaging things up correctly.
Something I can't help with, since I don't have Eclipse here.
