Hi,
I am facing a problem with my Apache-Tomcat-MySQL
installation.MyEnvironment is as follows:
Redhat ES4(2.6.9-5.EL), Apache-Tomcat-5.5.15, MySQL 4.1.12, Java version
1.5.0_06, Apache-Tomcat connector ajp13,
mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha-bin.jar.
After installation and configuration I am unable to connect to the database
through the application and getting the following exception in
catalina.outlog file.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
However, I am able to browse my site perfectly with
http://localhost/index.jsp (the connector also configured perfectly, so that
I do not need to specify the port number in URL).
I put the mysql-connector-java-3.2.0-alpha-bin.jar file in
$CATALINA_HOME/common/lib and also specified in CLASSPATH.
I am able to login to MySQL through command and access the database without
any problem.
My db.properties is as under:
# MySQL database access properties
db.driver = org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
db.url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb
db.user = root
db.pwd =
Any clue will be very much helpfull.Thanks in advance.
