Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver") ;
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/email") ;

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement() ;

As per the documentation of the MYSQL-JDBC driver for Linux u've to
Put mysql-connector-java-3.1.0-alpha-bin.jar in your classpath, either by adding the
FULL path to it to your CLASSPATH enviornment variable, or putting it in $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext....so i copied the file to the /jre/lib... folder but inspite of that I've the foll. error......i.e. it is not able to detect the
driver......
db_test.java:15: unreported exception java.lang.ClassNotFoundException; must be
caught or declared to be thrown
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver") ;
^
1 error

How do i get out of this? Please help asap.

Did you find the solution to find the driver ? I have the same problem.
