title: Unable to Connect to JDBC Connection Pool from Glassfish
body: <p>I am running GlassFish Server Open Source Edition 3.1.2.2 (build 5) with MySql</p>
  
  <p>I have created a JDBC Connection Pool using NetBeans.</p>
  
  <p>Googled this problem I found that adding it is a classpath issue.

  <p>and also tried in </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Program Files\glassfish-3.1.2.2\glassfish\domains\domain1\lib\ext
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Restarted the server many times. Re-created connection pool .Still No Success.</p>
  
  <p>I get this when i try pinging it from Admin Console</p>
