database connection with mysql

i have my server as follows:

import java.rmi.*;

public class JobServer

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{

try

{

JobImpl j = new JobImpl();

Naming.rebind("//"+"localhost"+"/JobImpl",j);

System.out.println("Registered");

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println("Exception occured in JobServer ... " +e);

}

}

}

and my interface implementation:

import java.rmi.*;

import java.rmi.server.*;

import java.sql.*;

public class JobImpl extends UnicastRemoteObject implements JobInt

{

String host="localhost";

String user="root";

String pass="admin";

String db="db";

String conn;

ResultSet rs;

Statement st;

public JobImpl() throws RemoteException

{

super();

try

{

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

conn = "jdbc:mysql://" + host + "/" + db + "?user=" + user + "&password=" + pass;

Connection Conn = DriverManager.getConnection(conn);

st = Conn.createStatement();

}

catch (Exception e)

{

System.out.println("problem while establishing connection"+e);

}

}

public String getname(int jobno) throws RemoteException

{

try

{

rs = st.executeQuery("Select name from job whwre jobno="+jobno);

rs.next();

return(rs.getString("name"));

}

catch (Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

return null;

}

}

when i 'javac JobServer' on the command prompt, i have the following error:

problem while establishing connection java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Exception occured in JobServer ... java.rmi.ConnectionException: Connection refused to host: localhost; nested exception is :

java.net.ConnectionException: Connection refused: connect

apparently theres a problem with my database connection... the connection isnt right? plz help

> problem while establishing connection> java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:> com.mysql.jdbc.DriverSo fix that first. It's just a matter of installing the MySQL JAR file(s) in the appropriate place, i.e. somewhere on your CLASSPATH. Read their documentation.
