I wrote the following basic servlet. Most of is MyElipse generated code. One the last line where it says,
"Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");", it gives me the following error,
"Unhandled exception type ClassNotFoundException". It apparently cannot find the 'Class' class anywhere. I tried to do shift-ctrl-O, but it won't find it either. Since this is very basic java sql, does anyone have any idea why it won't find the 'Class' clas?

public class dbServlet extends HttpServlet {

Connection dbConnection;

super();

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {

response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out
.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\">");
out.println("<HTML>");
out.println(" <HEAD><TITLE>A Servlet</TITLE></HEAD>");

out.print(" This is ");
out.print(this.getClass());
out.println(", using the GET method");
out.println(" </BODY>");
out.println("</HTML>");
out.flush();
out.close();
}


public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {


}

/**

public void init() throws ServletException {

System.out.println(getServletName() + "Initializing");
String driverClassName = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:data";
String username = "dbusername";
String password = "dbpassword";

// Load the driver class
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

}

}

awebro,

Class is from java.lang and it's loaded default - you needn't import - Do you sure that ClassNotFound is for Class ?
if yes, then you have jdk problem ? Check your server's jdk

Best
