Answer 1

This line of code throws an uncaught exception:

Driver driver = new org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver();

try this:

try {
   Driver driver = new org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver();
}
catch (java.sql.SQLException e) {
  // you may want to do something useful here
 // maybe even throw new RuntimException();
}
