We're having the exact same problem as robbor. We are able to connect to our MYSQL database from iReport using a JDBC connection, however, the "Spring Loaded Hibernate Connection" is giving us nothing but grief. Here is the specific error we are getting... Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://verto-beta:3306/spring_test     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)     at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)     at org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource.getConnectionFromDriverManager(DriverManagerDataSource.java:174) We have tried importing numerous jar files (mysql connectors, etc..) and have even tried replacing the spring.jar and hibernate jar files in the iReport library folders. All to no avail... We suspect that it is loading the library files in such a manner, where the mysql connector isn't being read by the spring framework. That being said, we have had no luck to date, and are now forced to abstract our .jrxml files so that we can pass in the data using a JRBeanCollectionDataSource. If anyone knows how to fix this, your assistance would be appreciated.
