Problems connecting to MySQL.

[Craig Snowbarger]

I'm trying to connect to MySQL with the code below and I keep getting the error at the bottom. Any ideas?
Code:

        try {
            String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/TestSetTracker";
            Class.forName( "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" ).newInstance();
            dbconn = DriverManager.getConnection( url );
        } catch ( ClassNotFoundException cnfex ) {
            cnfex.printStackTrace();
            cnfex.toString();
        } catch ( SQLException sqlex ) {
            sqlex.printStackTrace();
            sqlex.toString();
        } catch ( Exception excp ) {
            excp.printStackTrace();
        }

Exception:

Don't you need a user id and password?

Craig, I recently had a similar problem which was solved. See my POST on May 15. Stan Levine
