Hi Ken, The spec allows the values:
connectionName="username" connectionPassword="password" in the realm tag in server.xml. You might try that instead of putting the username and password in the connection URL. Tomcat then builds the string for the URL with the connection parameters in it. Rick > Yes I have. After some more investigation I think the problem is this: the > entry in server.xml is like this user=ken;password=ken. But mySQL wants a > "&" and xml parser demands a ";".
