I am trying to load or u can say register my sql jdbc driver with the use of ServletConfig interface

Question

I am able to load my mysql jdbc driver from the other ways but when I am trying to register it with the use of servletconfig interface it gives an exception

Answer 1

The error it's because there is no class "driver" the correct sentence is :

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

or

Class.forName( config.getInitParameter("driver") ); 

But actually this isn't a correct way to access a database in a servlet see : Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance()
