           Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:CUSTOMER");
           Statement st=con.createStatement();
// Execute an SQL query, get a ResultSet

hi friend,

I think you should check the line of importing package of sql probably there may be a problem. Java is a case sensitive language. In your sample code I can see that you have used the Import java.sql instead of

import java.sql.Connection;

if the problem is not occurred due to the above reason probably there may be a problem in naming of a class. Check whether you have created a class by name "Connection" in your package

for detail tutorial you can go through the link Database Connectivity in Servlet
