Jboss not recognizing the mysql driver

[vilpesh]

Hi all,
Well iam developing an application using EJb,JBoss and mysql.
Jboss version is jboss-4.0.3
mysql driver used is mysql-connector-java-3.1.2
I extracted & have copied the mysql-connector-java jar file in the folder
server/default/lib of jboss.

I have restarted my jboss server after copying the jar file.After invoking http://localhost:8080/jmx-console--- i have clicked on the link
"name=Default,Service=LoaderRepository" on the JImplementation domain.
On the Page displayed,now i have typed "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" under the ParamValue column of displayClassInfo() and clicked on Invoke button.
This displays
"com.mysql.jdbc.Driver Information
Not Loaded in Repository Cache

### Instance 0 found in UCL org.jboss.mx.Loading.UnifiedClassLoader...."

With repeated restarts of jboss i get the same result.

Now with above resut displayed i understand that jboss is not loading the driver class.
1>Does it mean i wont be able to connect to mysql from jboss.

What do i do...

Thanks & Regards
Vilpesh

You will have to deploy a datasource:

hi
thanks for the reply jaikiran.

I have worked according to instruction on
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SetUpAMysqlDatasource
(I have not gone for named piped option.)

But i still get
"com.mysql.jdbc.Driver Information
Not Loaded in Repository Cache

### Instance 0 found in UCL org.jboss.mx.Loading.UnifiedClassLoader...."

But as i have kept the JNDI name 'MySqlDS', when the jboss server started, i could see a line saying that JNDI bound to name 'MySqlDS'.

Does it mean i would be able to connect to the mysql database.

Thanks & regards
