5. Be sure to copy the JDBC driver relevant to the database engine to the the <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/components/dropins and  and <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/components/lib directories directories. For example, if you are using MySQL, you would specify specify com.mysql.jdbc.Driver as  as the driver and would copy copy mysql-connector-java-5.XX-bin.jar to  to these directories. If you do not copy the driver to these directories when you create the datasource, you will get an exception similar to "Cannot load JDBC driver class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver".
