Netbeans Unable To Load JDBC Driver

[DK]

Hello,

I'm developing a system in which I have to connect to DBMS and for this I'm using MYSQL. I'm using IDE NetBeans4.1 for development purpose.

Now the problem is that my program is unable to find the J/connector driver for DB connectivity. However, I have installed MYSQL driver to the right directory of JRE. I have also tested to ensure that J/connector is Installed right. I have write a Second, simple program of DB connectivity and run it through Javac complier from command prompt, after compilation I run it through command prompt and it works fine.

But when I run my first program ( which I mentioned in first line ) of JDBC through NetBeans, it gives an execption of unable to load driver. The compilation of program is fine, Its gives error on run time.
I dont know why it is unable to load the driver, as my second program is running fine.

Is NetBean has its own JRE through which the Bytecode execute or it uses the JRE for bytecode execution which is Installed in other folder

Kindly tell me whats going wrong.

Regards,
Dansih Kamran.

Your simple program's classpath does not include NetBeans classpath.

You could add the MySQL driver to your application's classpath by opening
the Properties
of your application and adding the MySQL driver library.

1) Right click on the main project node for your application and choose
Properties.
2) Select Libraries in the Properties dialog then click Add Library
3) Add the library for MySQL JDBC driver.

I'm also surprised Dansih is using NB 4.1. Is this absolutely necessary
in his situation? I believe that database support has greatly improved
in later versions of NetBeans.
