MySQL server - JDBC connectivity

Question

I am having issues connecting to mySQL server using ConnectJ driver for JDBC. I wrote a simple program just to establish connectivity as below:

private static final String DB_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
private static final String DB_CONNECTION = "jdbc:mysql://[host]:1521/OBIEE11G";    
private static final String DB_USER = "OBADW";
private static final String DB_PASSWORD = "OBADW";

public static Connection getConnection() {

    Connection dbConnection = null;
    try {
        // DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());
        Class.forName(DB_DRIVER);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }
    try {
        // DriverManager.registerDriver(new com.mysql.jdbc.Driver());
        System.out.println("before get connection ***********");
        System.out.println("Java version: " + System.getProperty("java.version"));
        Driver driver = (Driver) Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
        System.out.println("JDBC driver: " + driver.getMajorVersion() + "." + driver.getMinorVersion());
        dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_CONNECTION, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
        System.out.println("Connection: " + dbConnection.getClass().getName());
        System.out.println("after get connection ***********");
        return dbConnection;
    } catch (SQLException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }
    return dbConnection;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Connection dbConnection = getConnection();

    if (dbConnection != null) {
        System.out.println("Connected");
    } else {
        System.out.println("Failed");
    }

I am getting the following error:

before get connection ***********
Java version: 1.7.0
JDBC driver: 5.1
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 0 milliseconds ago. The driver has not received any packets from the server.

I am using connectJ : mysql-connector-java-5.1.37-bin.jar Java 1.7, JDBC driver 5.1

I am able to ping the host, and connect it using mysql developer. Please suggest.

yes, it failing at dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_CONNECTION, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD); line, I also pinged the server, and its seems to be up and running — sagabh, Jan 22 '16 at 03:20

yes, i went through this post, however, i am able to connect to the host using my local mysql developer. It doesnt look like the solution described in the post — sagabh, Jan 22 '16 at 03:25
Your `DB_CONNECTION` string appears to be specifying port `1521`, but the default port for MySQL is `3306`. Are you certain this is correct? — Tim Biegeleisen, Jan 22 '16 at 03:28
Yep, i checked the properties of the db connectivity, its 1521. — sagabh, Jan 22 '16 at 03:29
This sounds suspicious to me. Did you manually reassign the port to `1521`? In which db file are you looking? — Tim Biegeleisen, Jan 22 '16 at 03:33
Could you solve this problem i also in the same situation is there a any solution for it [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/3Jlw4.png [2]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/GUCx3.png — Thilina Dharmasena, Jul 28 '16 at 10:45

From your log its clear about "Communications link failure"

ensure your mysql server running
ensure you have the right hostname/ip/port
ensure your network is working

yep, i am able to connect to the host using sql developer, and i tried to ping the host – sagabh Jan 22 '16 at 03:26
Ping uses a different protocol than the one your Java code will use to communicate with it, so just because ping works doesn't mean JDBC will. – Tim Biegeleisen Jan 22 '16 at 03:27
so how to test the jdbc connectivity ? – sagabh Jan 22 '16 at 03:31

Sounds stupid to ask but have you configured your MySQL Connector.jar file correctly in your project properties?
