Hi,

The error java.lang.classnotfoundexception com.mysql.jdbc.driver comes in Java application when MySQL JDBC Driver is not available with the application or its not able to load due to jar path mismatch.

If you are using maven tool in your project then add following line of code in the pom.xml file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>mysql</groupId>
    <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
    <version>5.1.6</version>
</dependency>

This will download the dependency of MySQL JDBC Driver version 5.1.6 and include in the project. After availability of the Driver class application will run properly and there will no java.lang.classnotfoundexception com.mysql.jdbc.driver error.

If you are not using maven then you have manually download the MySQL connector jar file and include in project. Check the tutorials:
