java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver (maven + jboss)

Question

maven pom.xml

Answer 1

As a rule you should not be including your JDBC drivers in your war file.

I suggest you mark the driver as provided and add it to the lib directory of the server.

PS. I'm not sure why you would be using

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")

in your code. Why not let the contain manage your connections and transactions?
