Subject: why can't my servlet connect to mysql...?


hi...it seems that my servlet have problem connecting
to mysql...

here's a part of my servlet code:

---------------------------------------------
public class RegisterUser extends HttpServlet{
   public void service(ServletRequest request,
        ServletResponse response)throws IOException{

        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
        try{

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
java.sql.Connection con;
con = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/mysql?user=root&password=root1234");


}
catch (Exception e){
pw.println("\nError: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
-----------------------------------------------
i got the error message: Error: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

any idea what did i do wrong here..? cause my another
java application can connect to mysql without any
problem..using the same syntax as above..

thanx a lot. any help are greatly appreciated.
