From what I can tell it doesnt seem like MariaDB > Connector J is compatible with Guacamole, maybe due to the above? > Saying it's not compatible is a bit of a stretch. There are a couple of things: - First, as I noted before, we abstract away most of the JDBC concerns to the MyBatis project, so the code that actually references the com.mysql.jdbc.Driver package is not actually anywhere in Guacamole (I don't think, anyway - could be wrong), but is actually in the MyBatis code. That said, there should be ways to work around it. - There's not actually any incompatibility, here, I wouldn't say - the connector will work fine once it's loaded - it's just a matter of loading the proper connector. I'm not sure off the top of my head if later versions of MyBatis account for this change or not, or give any flexibility for finding/selecting the right one, but, if not, we could likely do something in the Guacamole code to either allow for specifying or auto-select the correct one. It's worth putting in a JIRA issue for this, I would say. -Nick
