Java项目引入第三方Jar包

普通java Project 引入jar包：

1，copy jar to lib folder.

2, imported with Build path -> Add external jars, and it worked perfectly.

 

Java Web Project 引入jar包：

1，copy jar to WebContent/WEB-INF/lib/

2，right click jar Package Build path -> Add external jars。

There are two ways to use and reference a jar file in an eclipse project.

• One is at compile time and for compilation purposes. To make your project compile, you need to add your required libraries in the classpath. In eclipse, right click to your project, hover on 'Build Path', then select 'Configure Build Path'. In the dialog go to 'Libraries' tab and there you can see which jars/libraries you have. If you need to add more, you can use the buttons at the right side of the dialog. There you should select 'Add external jars' and select the MySql JDBC Driver from your file system.

• The other one is at run time. This is when you deploy your web application to an application server. Now everytime your application needs to load a class from an external jar, it will look for the jar in the application server's class loader. The classloader conatins the paths to the available jar files in your application server, in configured resources and in your deployed application in the WEB-INF/lib/ folder. You can configure which place the classloader will check first.

In your very specific case, you need to add the MySQL JDBC Driver in any of classloader paths (since I asume your project compiles already) so you can either add the jar to Tomcat's /lib directory or to your application's /WEB-INF/lib/ directory. After that just redeploy or restart tomcat and you should be able to use MySQL JDBC connections.

UPDATE:

Also, when using a DriverManager interface to create a JDBC Connection, remember to always create an instance of your JDBC driver first in order to load it into your Classloader. You can see this in the MySQL JDBC Driver documentation. Ej:

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

Call this line before using DriverManager.getConnection(...) and you should now be able to create and use your JDBC Connections.
