All of the answers here use the Class forName  my vandor Driver    line to load the driver   As an  better  alternative you can use the DriverManager helper class which provides you with a handful of methods to handle your JDBC driver s   You might want to   Use DriverManager registerDriver driverObject   to register your driver to it s list of drivers      Registers the given driver with the DriverManager  A newly-loaded driver class should call the method registerDriver to make itself known to the DriverManager  If the driver is currently registered  no action is taken    Use DriverManager deregisterDriver driverObject   to remove it       Removes the specified driver from the DriverManager s list of registered drivers    Example   Driver driver   new oracle jdbc OracleDriver    DriverManager registerDriver driver   Connection conn   DriverManager getConnection url  user  password              and when you don t need anything else from the driver DriverManager deregisterDriver driver     or better yet  use a DataSource

You have to load jdbc driver  Consider below Code   try              Class forName  com mysql jdbc Driver                    connect way  1             String url1    jdbc mysql   localhost 3306 aavikme               String user    root               String password    aa                conn1   DriverManager getConnection url1  user  password               if  conn1    null                    System out println  Connected to the database test1                                  connect way  2             String url2    jdbc mysql   localhost 3306 aavikme user root amp password aa               conn2   DriverManager getConnection url2               if  conn2    null                    System out println  Connected to the database test2                                  connect way  3             String url3    jdbc mysql   localhost 3306 aavikme               Properties info   new Properties                info put  user    root                info put  password    aa                 conn3   DriverManager getConnection url3  info               if  conn3    null                    System out println  Connected to the database test3                       catch  SQLException ex                System out println  An error occurred  Maybe user password is invalid                ex printStackTrace         catch  ClassNotFoundException e           TODO Auto-generated catch block     e printStackTrace

You might have not copied the MySQL connector J jar file into the lib folder and then this file has to be there in the classpath    If you have not done so  please let me know I shall elaborate the answer

I had a similar problem  just verify the port where your Mysql server is running  that will solve the problem  For example  my code was   Connection con   DriverManager getConnection  jdbc mysql   localhost 8080 bddventas   root         i change the string to  Connection con   DriverManager getConnection  jdbc mysql   localhost 3306 bddventas   root         and voila    this workd because my server was running on that port  Hope this help

Make sure you run this first   Class forName  com mysql jdbc Driver      This forces the driver to register itself  so that Java knows how to handle those database connection strings   For more information  see the MySQL Connector reference
