How to connect microsoft access database to jsp tomcat?

Question

I want to make a login form on my page by accessing database. Here is the connect code

<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" language="java" import="java.sql.*" errorPage="" %>
<%
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=" + application.getRealPath("WEB-INF/travDB.accdb"));
    Statement st = con.createStatement(1004,1008);
%>

When I tried to login, there was an error saying

type Exception report

message An exception occurred processing JSP page /Advance/Course1/connect.jsp at line 4

description The server encountered an internal error that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

org.apache.jasper.JasperException: An exception occurred processing JSP page /Advance/Course1/connect.jsp at line 4

I already made WEB-INF folder inside folder Course1, and connect.jsp is also on folder Course1. What should I do?

I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64bit, and tomcat version 7.0, jre 6 64bit

Excellent start. Now, is the 64-bit version of the Access Database Engine installed? — Gord Thompson, Oct 20 '13 at 12:57
`Windows Control Panel` > `Administrative Tools` > `Data Sources (ODBC)`. On the "Drivers" tab do you see "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)" listed? — Gord Thompson, Oct 20 '13 at 14:24
@GordThompson not listed on drivers tab. but listed on user dsn tab — greenthunder, Nov 01 '13 at 11:04

Are you using 32-bit MS Access Database?
You mentioned you have 64-bit OS ans JRE also 64-bit, but if you have 32-bit Access database then above mentioned exception occur. See this similar post.

You can not directly connect to a 32-bit Access ODBC driver from a 64-bit program.
While Microsoft distributes 32 bit ODBC Microsoft Access Drivers with Windows (32 & 64 bit), it does not distribute 64 bit MsAccess drivers with Windows 64. There is a 64 bit Access ODBC Driver available from Microsoft. There are some issues with downloading and installing the 64 bit MS Access driver.
