Unable to create connection to GlassFish database with Netbeans?


I'm using Netbeans 8.1 beta and Glassfish server 4.1, Mysql.

Every time I create connection between my Webapplication with database it's unable to do it.

I already copy the Jar file to glassfish lib, also I already add reference to web.xml.

I face this error:

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Unable to get connection, DataSource invalid: "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc/IFPWAFCAD"

root cause

javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Unable to get connection, DataSource invalid: "java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc/IFPWAFCAD"


Solution

  • Looks like u are missing jdbc driver for MySql. Download it from here

    http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/

    unzip and copy mysql-connector-java-5.x.xx-bin.jar it into $glassfish_install_folder\glassfish\lib

    User proper driver which match jdk and mysql version u are using to avoid errors.
