Web Start and mysql

[dynamik]

I've been having problems connecting to a mysql server via Web Start. I have searched the net for several days now, with no success in finding a solution, so here I am.

My application works fine, until I try and run it via Web Start.

Currently I use -

        try {
            Class.forName(driver);
        } catch (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException e) {
            Log.fatal(e.toString());
            return false;
        }
 
        try {
 
            con = DriverManager.getConnection(host, user, pass);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            Log.fatal(e.toString());
            return false;
        }
 
        return true;
    }

driver - String driver = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
host - String "jdbc:mysql://10.0.0.25:3306";

the jnlp file -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<jnlp
  spec="1.5+"
  codebase="http://localhost/"
  href="test.jnlp">

	<jar href="mysql-connector-java-3.1.8-bin.jar" /> 
  </resources>
  <application-desc main-class="org.stjohn.comp.Start"/>
</jnlp>

error created-

<5/07/2005 13:27:42><FATAL> <java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver>
<5/07/2005 13:27:42><FATAL> <Database initialization failure>



Have tried things like -

            ClassLoader classLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
            classLoader.getResource(driver);

and

           ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
           cl.getResource(driver);

Still with no success.

Anyone with a solution?

Thanks in advance
Justin.
