org.hibernate.HibernateException in a basic program of Hibernate

Question

i am using MySQL workbench 5.2 CE database with a basic hibernate program at run time it give me error:

Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: JDBC Driver class not found: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

this code in hibernate.cfg.xml:

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
          <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
        <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://192.168.8.212/da?autoReconnect=true&amp;useOldUTF8Behavior=true&amp;useUnicode=true&amp;characterEncoding=UTF-8" /></property>
        <property name="connection.username">root</property>
        <property name="connection.password">password</property>
        <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
        <property name="myeclipse.connection.profile">MyEclipse Derby</property>
        </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

This is unrelated but you have some extra garbage at the end of your connection.url string, remove them. It should be <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://192.168.8.212/da?autoReconnect=true&useOldUTF8Behavior=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8</property> — Pascal Thivent

Put the mysql jdbc driver jar on your classpath - if it is a web application that is WEB-INF/lib

i have put this in class path: Hibernate 3.3 Annotations & Entity Manager, Hibernate 3.3 Core Libraries, Hibernate 3.3 Advanced Support Libraries, derbyclient.jar - Hibernate_example/lib

and I have linked to the driver donwload page, from where you can obtain the jdbc driver, and also put it on the classpath.
