在更新到MariaDB的连接详细信息之后，系统会引发ClassNotFoundException

Question

我的网络托管公司建议我按照getDBConnection()中的以下内容将“ mysql jdbc connection”详细信息更改为“ mariadb”。 我已经下载了与JDK 1.7兼容的MariaDB jar [mariadb-java-client-1.7.4.jar]，并将jar添加到了项目中。 删除了现有的MySQL jar [mysql-connector-java-5.1.40-bin.jar]，以避免发生任何冲突。清理并构建解决方案，然后重新启动tomcat服务器。提交数据系统时仍然抛出以下错误。同样在进行调试时，我在这里connection = SoccerUtils.getDBConnection(); preparedStatement1 = connection.prepareStatement("insert into mydatabase.registeruser values(default,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)",Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS);收到null 知道为什么它仍然会引发ClassNotFoundException：com.mysql.jdbc.Driver吗？
