MySQL, Maven, Hibernate, MacOSX - Authentication

[R Graham]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a project working with the above. When I run the hibernate3:hbm2cfgxml goal, I get two stack traces:
The topline of the first is:
'org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: Getting database metadata'

The topline of the second is:
'Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'rogergraham'@'localhost' (using password: YES)'

I do not understand what to put for hibernate.connection.username and hibernate.connection.password.

I have to sudo to run mysql (where it runs as root: yes I know this is bad, but I'm just starting with the Mac so please be forgiving!) But even if I put the root username/password combination in, I get the same error.

Is there something I'm missing here? When you have a JDBC connection and supply the username/password, this is the combination that is set on the database instance itself, right? I'm very confused...

Any help greatly appreciated!


Thanks,
Roger

Roger,
Welcome to JavaRanch!

We have a special forum for ORM. Since this is about Hibernate and not pure JDBC, I'm moving it there. This question does pertain to a bunch of technologies though. If the conversation shifts back to JDBC (or Maven) someone can move it again. For now, I think you will get the most help in the ORM forum.

Hi,

This is problem of the system authentication... if your system has got the
admin privileges then use this ..........there is no code problem.......

You can also use

rogergraham@IPADDresss (like 192.168.100.13)(then also it will not work)


privileges.............prblm....

Quite likely a MySQL authorization issue. Try with standalone MySQL.
