[cobalt-developers] Sun Cobalt Developer Kit and MySQL on Raq3

[Donald Atkins <datkins23@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Developers,

I installed the Sun Cobalt Developer Kit on a Raq 3. It serves up pages fine but I
am having trouble connecting to the mysql db I have on the machine. I keep running
into the following error:

SQLException: Cannot connect to MySQL server on localhost:3306. Is there a MySQL
server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect to?
(java.security.AccessControlException) 

I am able to access the db fine from a command line Java program. I am assuming the
Java security sandbox under Tomcat is trying to protect my server. I have tried
adding various CodeBase permissions to the tomcat.policy.custom file. I usually end
up having to reboot the server. I thought about opening up the permissions to
everything but I figure I would eventually regret it. Has anybody gotten this to
work? If so could you please give me some hints or a snippet?

Thanks for any help,
Don Atkins
