Tomcat 5 - Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null ' SQL state: null

Tomcat 5 - Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null ' SQL state: null

2004-01-06       - By christopher justin

 Back
A solution to this problem would be greatly appreciated.  I have now spent
over 10 hours investigating this problem, and still have no solution.  We
have installed Tomcat 5 and the latest MySQl ConnectorJ driver on 3
different platforms, and experience this annoying, what seems to be common
problem, yet no solution with Tomcat 5. I have configured, re-configured,
followed discussion forems (mainly related to Tomcat 4).  The mysql
connectorJ jar file is in $CATALINA/common/lib like stated at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5 (See http://cat-5.ora-code.com).0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto
.html
.  There something not documented or clear in the docs, as many people are
having this issue.

Here is the SQLException

Error: java.sql.SQLException Source code of java.sql.SQLException: Cannot load JDBC driver class 'null' SQL
state: null

Here is a snap shot of the server.xml file:

Does anyone have a successful Tomcat 5 and MySQL Connector J configuration?  
In desparate need of the correct configuration.  Thanks all.
