This is my code inside the doGet() method in the servlet. This same code runs fine inside a main method on a stand alone application. Not sure why this is happening inside a servlet. Please help and Thank You.

try{
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.driver");
            final String URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/nbaplayers";
            final String user = "root";
            final String pass = "password";
            System.out.println("Connecting");
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL,user,pass);
            System.out.println("connection Successful ");
            String sql = "select * from nba_player_consistency_3wks";

        }catch(SQLException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }catch(ClassNotFoundException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

试试看（用大写字母D）：

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