Hello all,

I'm running Tomcat 5.5 on a linux (CentOS) box and attempting to implement a set of web services (.jws). I'm getting an exception thrown when trying to instantiate a mysql database driver using the line of code:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();

I am using the mysql connector mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin-g.jar and it is in the CATALINA_HOME/common/lib directory with full permissions.

I've done untold amounts of google searches and putting the jar in the right place solved 90%+ of peoples' problems, but those that still had the issue didn't get replies (this was on various message boards).

Has anyone else encountered this and what was the solution? If any other information is necessary please let me know. I don't know what all is pertinent and I didn't want to just fill this question with junk to be sifted through.

Thanks,
--Kyle
