Trouble with MySql JDBC driver JConnector 5.1.13

[taufiqbzz]

Hello, my code is

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class LoadDriver {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
	
		Connection conn = null;
		
		try {
            // The newInstance() call is a work around for some
            // broken Java implementations

            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
			System.out.println("daaaaaaaaaa");
            // handle the error
        }

        try {
			
			conn =  DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql:rootkit", "root", "1231");

    // Do something with the Connection
		} 
		catch (SQLException ex) {
    // handle any errors
		System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
		System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
		System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
}

    }
}

the compilation is ok but when i try to run it, it displays:

C:\Users\0717857\Desktop\JDBC>java -classpath . LoadDriver
daaaaaaaaaa
SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql:rootkit
SQLState: 08001
VendorError: 0

This means that the line "Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();" is not working.any idea for why this happens? thank you

Reread the MySQL Connector/J documentation and redo the URL accordingly.

Thanks for the reply, i'll surely read it after this. however, i think the driver is not even loaded since it display the "daaaaaaaaaa" which is in the Exception and this means that the "Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();" is not working, isn't it?

No. That would be a ClassNotFoundException. You are getting a NoSuitableDriver, which means it does not recognise that URL as a MySQL URL and so does not know to use the loaded MySQL driver, so it can only complain that it doesn't have any driver that will work with that URL.
