mysql-connector-java-5.1.45-bin jar file not recognized by ReadyAPI

I put mysql-connector-java-5.1.45-bin.jar file in ReadyAPI-2.1.0\bin\ext directory, after clicked "Test Connection" for JDBC Request step, got:

 

com.eviware.soapui.support.SoapUIException: Failed to initialize the connection that uses the [com.mysql.jdbc.Driver] driver. Connection string: [jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sakila?user=root&password=#####].

 

Please advise.  Thanks.

    Hi, 

     

    Thank you for your post. I cannot reproduce the issue on my side with the mentioned file. Did you download the JDBC driver the official site: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.0.html? I can reproduce the error if I don't have the mysql-connector-java-5.1.45-bin.jar file in the <ReadyAPI_Install>\bin\ext folder. Can you provide a screenshot of the content of your <ReadyAPI_Install>\bin\ext folder?

      Now the issue resolved after I added the jar to C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\lib\ext.
