Working with Java classes

 var driverClass:java.lang.Class;

	    var driver:java.sql.Driver;

	    var connection:java.sql.Connection;

	    var statement:java.sql.Statement;

 	    driverClass = java.lang.Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");

	    driver = driverClass.newInstance();

	    java.sql.DriverManager.registerDriver(driver);

 	    connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://dataserver.mycompany.com/tours?user=datauser&password=datapw");

 	    statement = connection.createStatement();
