Which JDBC driver did you copy to the Tomcat lib folder?

Mike

[jbaldwin]

I am having the same problem with an installation.  I copied over the following file to the tomcat\lib directory: mysql-connector-odbc-noinstall-5.1.5-win32.

[mikeh]

You need the Java connector: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html

If it's working fine, I suggest there's nothing further needed.
