Title Body

I'm getting this error while running tomcat 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'. I'm using a combination of Eclipse (Indigo, J2EE version) / Maven (m2e-wtp) / Tomcat 7.0. I've included this dependency in my pom file for my web application (build from scratch). <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> <version>5.1.6</version> </dependency> I do not get any compilation errors in the 'Problems' view but when I run the Tomcat server from the 'Servers' view, I get these errors. It clearly indicates that Tomcat is unable to find the Class and it is classpath configuration error and I was hoping that maven would take care of this. I looked at other issues related to 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver' but weren't of much help. I would greatly appreciate any help. /** This is how I load the Driver */ static { DriverAdapterCPDS cpds_Customer = new DriverAdapterCPDS(); try { cpds_Customer.setDriver(productConfig.getProperty("dbcp.connection.customer.driver_class")); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { // log.error("setDriver Exception " + e); e.printStackTrace(); } }
