lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/sql/Savepoint

[preeti.sharma]

Hi,

When I am trying to connect to the mySQL database I am getting the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/sql/Savepoint
at com.mysql.jdbc.NonRegisteringDriver.connect(NonRegisteringDriver.java
:263)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:450)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:152)
at ConnectDB.main(ConnectDB.java, Compiled Code)

This is how I am connecting to it through a java application:
try {

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error in loading driver");
}
try {
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=root&password=root");
}

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards
Preeti
