I want to create a DSN in Ubuntu Linux 10.10 for a Java application with a MySQL back end.
Sorry if the question is simple but I really need your help.
How can I create it? What are the drivers that are needed to install for the same?

JDBC is the way to go to get database connectivity in a Java application.
You'll need to install a JDBC driver for MySQL, e. g. Connector/J. Installation and usage of Connector/J is documented in the MySQL reference manual.
The format of a connection URL for Connector/J is specifically described in 20.3.4.1. Driver/Datasource Class Names, URL Syntax and Configuration Properties for Connector/J.
