Thread: Problem in installing JDBC ODBC driver in Netbean

I'm running my web application on Netbean 7 with apache Tomcat.

Now, I'm using microsoft access so I'd need to use a My SQL JDBC ODBC connector driver.

After google around the web, I got this driver by the name of
Windows (x86, 32-bit), ZIP Archive
Connector-ODBC 5.2.5 4.8M
Download
(mysql-connector-odbc-noinstall-5.2.5-win32.zip)

I duely right click on the server library and added this accordingly.

However, I'm still getting an exception from Netbean when I debug.

I notice that there's no jar inside this zip file at all but contains a driver file with an extension dll.

No matter how I installed this zip file or the dll file, my web application is still getting this jdbc odbc driver not found. (((

Hope some kind souls out there can help.

Thanks!

better you download the jar file and add it in library instead of zip file
