[FIXED] java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jbdc:mysql://localhost:3306/loginDB & java.lang.NullPointerException

Issue

I am having a problem where the Eclipse IDE does not recognize the jdbc driver in the .jar file. I have already tried putting it in the build path from WEB-INF/Lib and also the build folder. I have already added the Class.forname in my project to register the driver.

This is my url to my database in mysql: "jbdc:mysql://localhost:3306/loginDB". I am using Tomcat v9.0 server. I'm using 5.1.49 driver version for the .jar file.

The following link will bring you to my github, where my code is for my project.

This shows how I'm registering for driver to work.

Solution

You have a typo in your connection string.

jbdc:mysql://localhost:3306/loginDB

It should be jdbc.
