The reason you got this error is because you forgot to register your java mysql jdbc driver with the application.

Should be like this:

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");

This forces the driver to register itself, so that Java knows how to handle those database connection strings.

You'll have to read the manual on your specific mysql jdbc driver to find the exact string to place inside the the Class.forName("...") parameter.
