That is a legacy Driver. It is only around for backwords compatability. Use com.jdbc.mysql.Driver instead.

P.S. No need to change your jarfile (depending on the version of course), just change the String in the Class.forName() or Driver.registerDriver() method call.

One thing you should also be aware of, database connection from JSP is out of date. Now JSP is used for presentation purposes (user input, or system data presentation for user) and servlet handle logic, which includes DB connectivity
