How to import JDBC driver into Dynamic Web Project?

Question

I have a local MySQL database. When I created a simple Java project, with one class which contained only main, I successfully retrieved some data from the database using JDB

Answer 1

Your mysql jdbc driver should be placed into your tomcat's directory:

catalina_base/webapps/app_name/WEB-INF/lib/

Make sure to start/restart your server after placing your new mysql jdbc driver jar file there.
