Stop ColdFusion.
Open ColdFusion's /lib/ directory. Locate any Jar file of the form mysql-connector-java-*.*.*.jar, where *.*.* represents a version number, and delete it.
Go to the MySQL Connector/J download site: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
In "Select Operating System:", choose the option "Platform Independent". The current version is 8.0.25.
Click to download the "Platform Independent (Architecture Independent), ZIP Archive". Click on "No thanks, just start my download."
Unpack the Zip file. You will find that the folder contains the file mysql-connector-java-8.0.25.jar. That is the driver you want.
Copy the JAR file to the /lib/ directory of your ColdFusion installation.
Restart ColdFusion.
