Exception: ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

I am doing a simple JSP program to connect with MySQL DB. But it's showing the Exception like this. I am using Java version 1.6 and MySQL -connector 5.1.20. I have placed this connector (.jar) file in lib/ext directory of JAVA_HOME. I have set the CLASSPATH also to the value upto connector (.JAR) file. Still, I get the same Exception.

I have searched for this. I did all the things suggested by them. But I didn't found any results.

Please help me.

If you are using Netbeans, then right click on your project, select "Add library," then select MySQL JDBC driver and save it.

Place the connector jar in the TOMCAT_HOME/lib folder of your tomcat installation. It should work.
