JDBC--java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:无法初始化类com.mysql.JDBC.Connection

我有以下代码试图建立到远程数据库的连接。它抛出了一个异常，我不知道为什么

    import java.util.List;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.sql.Connection;
    import java.sql.DriverManager;
    import java.sql.Statement;
    import java.sql.ResultSet;

    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

    import com.model.Bulletin;

    Connection connection = getConnection();
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();

    private Connection getConnection() {
        Connection conn = null;
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://address/cpc";
        String userName = "user";
        String password = "password"; // Don't worry, that's not the real password.
        try {
            Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            return null;
        }

        return conn;
    }

谁能给我解释一下为什么我会得到这个例外
