public static Enumeration getDrivers() method in java.sql.DriverManager class will do this for us.

Some more useful information below:
public class DriverManager is the basic service for managing a set of JDBC drivers. As part of its initialization, the DriverManager class will attempt to load the driver classes referenced. A program can also explicitly load JDBC drivers at any time. For example, the my.sql.Driver is loaded with the following statement: 

 Class.forName("my.sql.Driver");

This allows a user to customize the JDBC Drivers used by their applicationsWhen the method getConnection is called, the DriverManager will attempt to locate a suitable driver from amongst those loaded atinitialization and those loaded explicitly using the same classloader.

Thanks,
