here's what i did... 1.. Put mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar in CATALINA_HOME\common\lib 2.. Didn't worry about setting the classpath for it... 3.. Server.xml stuff <parameter> <name>username</name> <value>tomcat</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>password</name> <value>sinner</value> </parameter> <!-- Class name for MySQL jdbc driver--> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value> </parameter> <!--JDBC Connection URL--> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost/tomcatbook?autoReconnect=true</value> </parameter> </ResourceParams> 4. Web.xml stuff <resource-ref> <description>DB Connection</description> <res-ref-name>jdbc/Show</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> Hope this helps!

I had previously used MySQL JDBC driver version 1 and developed a couple of programs to access my MySQL database. The programs worked just fine with this version of the driver. When I went to upgrade to the newest version of the MySQL JDBC driver I get errors in my programs saying there is an error before the beginning of the result set. I am wondering if I am not installing the driver correctly. All I did for the JDBC driver version 1 was to place the jar file in CATALINA_HOME/common/lib I also made a CLASSPATH variable and referenced the package. Since this worked I thought the it should still work for the JDBC driver version 3. But for some reason it does not. Does anybody have any experience setting up JDBC driver 2 or 3 for MySQL that could give me a few tips on installation.
