I have a very simple code to run. The hibernate xml mapping
files must be correct because I downloaded form a tutorial.
The hibernate properties file is:


hibernate.dialect net.sf.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
hibernate.connection.driver_class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
hibernate.connection.url jdbc:mysql:///test
hibernate.connection.username db2admin
hibernate.connection.password

I run the code as below from a command line shell.
All the jar files and zip files, and class files are in the
directory.

However, I still get this error message:

net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: JDBC Driver class not found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

Please help.

Thanks,
