I'm running tomcat 4.0.3 on debian woody with apache and mysql on the same box. I can connect to mysql from another machine via tcp/ip on port 3306, and from perl and php4 scripts.
When I try this code under tomcat, i get an error about 'can't find a mysql server on port 3306' %<------------------------------------------------------- <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>JSP Test Code</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <%@ page import="java.sql.*" %> <TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=75%> <TR> <TH>Last Name</TH> <TH>First Name</TH> </TR> <% Connection conn = null; Statement st = null; ResultSet rs = null; try { Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/cartapp?user=root"); } catch(Exception ex) { out.println("Exception handler!"); out.println(ex); } finally { if(rs!=null)rs.close(); if(st!=null)st.close(); if(conn!=null)conn.close(); } %> </BODY> </HTML> %<-------------------------------------------------------------------- but equivalent code (below) works just fine with pure java... %<-------------------------------------------------------------------- import java.sql.*; class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) throws java.sql.SQLException{ Connection conn = null; Statement st = null; ResultSet rs = null; try { Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance(); conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/cartapp?user=root"); st = conn.createStatement(); rs = st.executeQuery("select * from employees"); while (rs.next()) { System.out.println(rs.getString("lname_txt")); } } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } finally { if( rs != null) rs.close(); if( st != null) st.close(); if( conn != null) conn.close(); } System.out.println("Hello World!"); // Display "Hello World!" } } %<-------------------------------------------------------------------- Has anyone had any similar issues, and can point me in the right direction? -- Regards, John Breen +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------+ | aaaa pppppp aaaa n nnnn aaaa ww ww aaaa | | | aa pp p aa nn nn aa ww ww aa | John Breen | | aaaaa pp p aaaaaa nn nn aaaaaa ww w ww aaaaa | Coordinator | | a aa ppppp a aa nn nn a aa ww w ww a aa | APANA, Inc. | | aaaa a pp aaaa a nnn nnn aaaa a wwwww aaaa a | WA Region | | pppp | | +---------------------------------------------------------+-------------+ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
