Grails: Cannot create JDBC driver of class ‘com.mysql.jdbc.Driver’ for connect URL ‘jdbc:hsqldb:mem:grailsDB’

January 20, 2012 by Annyce Davis

Recently received the following error when attempting to deploy a new war file on my Glassfish server:

Cannot create JDBC driver of class ‘com.mysql.jdbc.Driver’ for connect URL ‘jdbc:hsqldb:mem:grailsDB’

The solution to the issue however, has nothing to do with MySQL and drivers whatsoever.  The problem was that I mistyped the environment name when creating the war file.

I typed grails rstaging war instead of grails staging war.  This is just another example of extremely useful error messages that I’ve encountered while developing for Grails.
