I have started jsp servlet application with Xampp Server, In which I have dbconnection.java and LoginValidator.java (servlet) files. I'm getting an error while trying to access the database from servlet (LoginValidator.java). It is getting the following error: Class Not found Exception : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver I have imported the mysql-connector-java-5.1.18-bin.jar. I have searched a lot but could not find the solution.
