unable to connect to db

[sonoerin]

I am unable to get my app to connect to a running instance of mySQL. I can connect to it via Eclipse IDE using a URL:

jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb

But in my mysql-ds.xml file I have this:


<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>MySqlDS</jndi-name>
<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mydb</connection-url>
<driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>user</user-name>
<pass word>none</pass word> <-- formatted to show in this post
</local-tx-datasource>


But when I try to access the site I get this:

Caused by: org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (java.sql.SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server on 127.0.0.1:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect to? (java.lang.NumberFormatException))

Does anyone know what might prevent JBOss 4.0.2 from connecting to the db?

I should say that I am on OS 10.4.8 running JDK1.5 with JBoss-4.0.2 and the mysql db is running locally.

Not sure why you would see a NumberFormatException. Just give it a try by changing the connection url to:

<connection-url>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb</connection-url>

That did it, I have no idea why it will accept a name, and not an IP and then throw a NumberException. But it appears to be working now - thanks!
