Hallo,


I've again followed Your instructions. Yesterday before I've removed and reinstalled MySQL, so the MySQL JDBC driver and the version of MySQL matched those of my fellow student who's program worked. So I needed to change the password. I've included in the commandline as You asked.
Please see here what I got:

You forgot to add the port number (3306) to the connection URL.

Looks like others are having a similar problem: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?39,191966,191966#msg-191966

Try this: get the MySQL driver from the Maven repository and use it (instead of the one you are using). The URL is:
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/mysql/mysql-connector-java/5.1.6/mysql-connector-java-5.1.6.jar

Dear Mister Johnson,




Thousand times thanks for You persistent help. The problem is solved and I will post the solution here. You had the solution. I didn't understand it well – so I looked over it-. My excuses for it, but I'm a really greenhorn in much things of computers. I have to say You already had it right at the beginning.


So the problem was, that due to some circumstances – some people say an update of Windows Vista- the system didn't recognize anymore the relative variable localhost. So using the relative address localhost in my java application or using this address in adding a database to Eclipse, didn't work. So Mr Gert Cuppens –here is the link to his personal website with all matters on the subject Java and related subjects – suggested me to put the absolute address into the java application – the IP-address 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost – , so the application will work. What it did.

And here it comes where You solved the problem. If You add or better said write - because when You open the file with notepad for example You can write into this document - 127.0.0.1 localhost into the file hosts of the directory C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc You can go on using localhost as an relative address in Your applications. So You don't have to fill anymore the absolute – IP – address – what reduce faults – in Your applications..


I want to express another time my gratefullness for all the help You provided me. I owe You a big, big, big favour. So I want to offer You something to show my thankfullness for Your persistent help.
My e-mailaddress is wauters underscore emmanuel at hotmail dot com, all in one line. So could you
give me an address where I can send the present to.



Yours sincerely,



Emmanuel Waûters

I have to admit that it is frustrating when I ask someone to change something (update the etc/hosts file), and later ask them if they have done that, only to find that they ignored my suggestion when that suggestion would have solved their problem. Sigh. (I'd put the head-banging icon here but I can't stand icons that move...)

Dear Mister Johnson,


The problem is that some suggestions I didn't understood well or presumed to have understood. But I will never forget it anymore.
I have to say, by following Your instructions, I understand more about my operating system, the maps on my computer,....

Always willing to return a favour.


Yours sincerely,


Emmanuel Waûters
