HTTP Status 500 - An exception occurred processing JSP page /index.jsp at line 24

type Exception report

message An exception occurred processing JSP page /index.jsp at line 24

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /index.jsp at line 24

21: String sql = "select usertype from userdetail";
22: 
23: try {
24: Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
25: con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
26: ps = con.prepareStatement(sql);
27: rs = ps.executeQuery();

I downloaded MySQL Connector J jar and included it in the project

Thanks in advance...

回答1:

Don't add the external jar. Download it and copy in project.

COPY it in WEB-INF--->lib(folder).

回答2:

The error ,

javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

says that it couldn't find the class file .

So you should check for the mysql jar to the the project using ,

Project properties-> add jar

before that place the jar in folder somewhere inside the project or add through external jar option.

If you already added . trying remove and adding the jar file again

see how-to-add-mysql-driver-jar-file-in-eclipse and how-to-add-external-jar-without-eclipse for addtional reference
