Client side logging

[John Norvell]

I'm running MySQL 5.7 and JDK 1.7

I am trying to log SQL on the client-side of the JDBC connection with the bound parameters ? replaced with actual values.

props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty("logger","com.mysql.jdbc.log.StandardLogger");
props.setProperty("profileSQL", "true");

conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/blahblah?****",
props);

but I am getting the following exception at runtime. The queries run fine when I pass an empty Properties object.

Do I have configuration missing or dependency JARs that I don't know about ?
