JDBC WINDOWS DRIVER LOCATION

when running the instruction:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
you get sometimes the following error:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

there's solution to that problem:
put the file mysql-connector-java-3.x.xx-bin.jar
into the folder JAVAHOME/jre/lib/ext, for example:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\jre\lib\ext\
