Jboss & mysql

[D. Clarke]

I have a EAR file with EJB and two struts applications. I am using Tomcat 4.0.2, mySQL locally, JDK1.5, and the JDBC driver "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver". I am able to connect to mysql via Eclipse using
dbc: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?

Tomcat or JBoss, your topic mentions when and your post mentions another.

Sorry, I meant I am using JBoss4.0.2 and the Tomcat 5.5 bundled within. I am developing on OS X 10.4.8 and will deploy to Ubuntu with similarly configured applications.

I got it, and just in case anyone else see's this - by changing the URL to use "localhost" rather than "127.0.0.1" seems to work.
