Communication Link Failure & Unexpected end of input screen

Hi,

I'm having the following SQL error when trying to connect to a database for use with JasperReports.

Anybody have any ideas to how to solve this? When i use the same connection mechanism for connecting to the database in another program everything works fine....so not sure why its saying it now.

Thanks for any advice...

Marcus,

This is a rather generic error and without some more context is rather hard to diagnose.

Off the top of my head, since you say this is happening on connect I wonder if you are using a different driver because it sounds like it could be a protocol misfunction. Namely in one place you use a driver that is speaking the correct protocol and with Jasper you are not.

Please consult the FAQ http://faq.javaranch.com/view?JdbcConnectionQuestions and the question Why do I get a connection refused exception

Make sure you go down the checklist of all the things that can go wrong.

Thanks for the reply,

In case anybody else suffers the same problem, the dilema was that i had mistakingly copied an old mysql diver into the lib/ext folder.

I knew that

I've done the same thing. Sorry I was too late.
