An additional note on the & character in the connection URL for MySQL...
XML syntax is going to require the & character be encoded as & so the real URL should loo something like: jdbc:mysql://localhost/authority?user=test&password=test This is how I had to write it in my server.xml file. Works like a charm. The encoding does not have to be done in regular JSP or java files. Only XML files like server.xml require this. Everywhere else, just use an & character. --David Smith On Thursday 01 November 2001 11:16 am, you wrote: > At 1:51 PM +0100 11/1/01, Andrius wrote: > >Hello, > > What's the correct MySQL jdbc connection url?
