Here is a code excerpt:
---------------------------
String dbDriver = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver";

try
{
     Class.forName(dbDriver).newInstance()
}
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnf)
{
     out.println(cnf);
}
-----------------------------
When I go to compile this servlet, I have been getting
boeither one of th of the following exceptions:

"Undeclared exception.  IllegalAccessException"
AND
"Undeclared exception.  InstantiationException"

Any ideas?   I have never had trouble using the mysql
driver.  Itis working fine on my other JavaBeans, JSPs
and Serlets.   And I always use the same database
algorithms, so I don't think I am doing anything
different.  The only possible change that I can see is
that these are the first servlets, whereas I have
previously been coding with JavaBeans.   The Java API
documentation mentions that these errors may be thrown
if the constructor is not present, or accessible for
the class (Class.forname.newInstance()).   I have not
touched the driver since I installed it, so I am
inclinec to think it has something to do with the
servlet environment.

Thanks!  Sorry for the long-wind!
