Hello, I need some help with my database access application. I am running Tomcat 6.0.16-6.4 installed from the OpenSUSE repositories. I am trying to connect to MySQL 5.0.51a-27.2. I have mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar in the tomcat6/lib directory.
I have not modified server.xml or context.xml in tomcat6/conf - I include them for reference server.xml <code> <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <!-- Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) under one or more contributor license agreements.
