Hello,
I have a webarchieve, with the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar in the
WEB-INF/lib folder.
If I deploy this webarchive to standalone Tomcat, my apllication works fine.
If I deploy it to JBoss it gives me an error message:
java.lang.NullPointerException
Following line of my JAVA source causes the eception:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
The same exception I had also before with Tomcat, but solved by placing the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar in the WEB-INF/lib folder and
re-deploying. So it seems that the JBoss cannot find my
mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar?
Where is the right place in my Web-Archive or JBoss server to store the
mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar?
I thought all necessary *.jar should be placed in my application archive in
the WEB-INF/lib folder and thats it!?!
I also copied an exploded war from my appl.war (got from Tomcat after
doploying) and deployed it to JBoss, the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar was to find under the WEB-INF/lib folder, but no success, even no success by updating the manifest.mf and the classpath with the path to the
mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar.
So whats the right way to make the mysql-connector-java-3.1.7-bin.jar
accessible for JBoss as well?
Thanks for any ideas!
