mysql jdbc connectivity error in eclipse juno plugin project

I am using mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar for database connectivity from a view. The JDBC connectivity code has been used in 3 JSP-struts2 projects in eclipse Helios and works fine there. Here it is throwing 

***No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/studentinfo***.

***!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2012-08-10 14:45:22.635
!MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception
!STACK 0
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.iiitb.studentinfo.CaptureDetails.LoadToDatabase(CaptureDetails.java:50)*** and stack trace goes on.

Any clue why it is happening?

Solution

  • You have to include mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar file into Build Path or copy it to WEB-INF/lib folder.
