[webstack-discuss] how to connect my java application to mysql

[Douglas Gaisie]

Hello there,
am a student and love to move to opensolaris , i have install the latest
version and its running greate. i have create a java application and want to
connect it to mysql. when i run the application i get an error. When you
look at windows OS, there is a place for you to set up the Data Source Name
in the Administration   tool in control panel. is it possible for anyone to
come to my aid  please....

Here is the program

"

import java.sql.*;

   public class Connect
   {
       public static void main (String[] args)
       {
           Connection conn = null;

           try

           {

               String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/LuxuryCar";
               Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url);

               System.out.println ("Database connection established");
           }
           catch (Exception e)
           {
               System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");

           }
           finally
           {
               if (conn != null)
               {
                   try
                   {
                       conn.close ();
                       System.out.println ("Database connection terminated");

                   }
                   catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }
               }
           }
       }
   }

thanks
