How to fix: "No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname" error when using pools?

I am trying to create a connection to my database, when I put test my code using the main method, it works seamlessly. However, when trying to access it through Tomcat 7, it fails with error: ``` No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname. ``` I am using pooling. I put in mysql connector (5.1.15), dbcp (1.4) , and pool(1.4.5) libraries in WEB-INF/lib and in .classpath as well. I am using Eclipse IDE. My code for the database driver is: ``` import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; import java.sql.SQLException; import org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.ConnectionFactory; import org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.DriverManagerConnectionFactory; import org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory; import org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolingDriver; import org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.pool.impl.GenericObjectPool; public class DatabaseConnector { public static String DB_URI = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname"; public static String DB_USER = "test"; public static String DB_PASS = "password"; // Singleton instance protected static DatabaseConnector _instance; protected String _uri; protected String _username; protected String _password; /** * Singleton, so no public constructor */ protected DatabaseConnector(String uri, String username, String password) { _uri = uri; _username = username; _password = password; GenericObjectPool connectionPool = new GenericObjectPool(null); ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new DriverManagerConnectionFactory( _uri, _username, _password); PoolableConnectionFactory poolableConnectionFactory = new PoolableConnectionFactory(connectionFactory, connectionPool, null, null, false, true); PoolingDriver driver = new PoolingDriver(); driver.registerPool("test", connectionPool); } /** * Returns the singleton instance */ public static DatabaseConnector getInstance() { if (_instance == null) { _instance = new DatabaseConnector(DB_URI, DB_USER, DB_PASS); } return _instance; } /** * Returns a connection to the database */ public Connection getConnection() { Connection con = null; try { con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:apache:commons:dbcp:test"); } catch (SQLException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } return con; } } ``` Start of my stack trace: ``` Apr 5, 2011 9:49:14 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve invoke SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Login] in context with path [/Project] threw exception java.lang.RuntimeException: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost/dbname ``` What is causing this error?
