<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"
import="java.sql.*"

<tr>
<td colspan="3"><center><input type="submit" value="Submit!"></center></td>
</form>

</body>
This file is connected with the profile.jsp. When i submit the test.jsp,No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/finalproject error comes up from
<%
Class.forName("java.sql.Connection");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/finalproject", "root", "vietforlife");
String firstname=request.getParameter("firstname");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultset = statement.executeQuery("SELECT FirstName, LastName, Username, Password1, Password2, Email FROM userid WHERE FirstName = '"+firstname+"'");
%>
I think my database is not connected with the jsp file. I followed the instructions from similar question, but that was not work. can you guys help me?
You are using wrong driver class name
Change
Class.forName("java.sql.Connection");
To
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Have a look at the MySQL docs
Update
it gives java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver error.
You need mysql-connector jar in class path in order to avoid ClassNotFoundException.
You can download it from MySQL site
