The Java error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver indicates that your application can't find the MySQL JDBC driver. This usually happens because the mysql-connector-java library, containing the driver, is missing or incorrectly configured in your project's classpath. Solutions involve adding the necessary dependency to your pom.xml (Maven) or build.gradle (Gradle) file. Ensure the driver version matches your MySQL server and Java version. Correct configuration will allow successful database connections.
