I made a Java desktop app in Eclipse and I used JDBC to connect to my database. The app works fine locally but when I update my database connection to an online database server it gives a communications link failiure.
The error I get in Eclipse is:
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.

The database connection file:
package application;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import javafx.scene.control.Alert;
import javafx.scene.control.Alert.AlertType;
public class DbConn {
String url = "jdbc:mysql://hostname:port/dbname";
String user = "username";
String password = "password";
public Connection conn;
public Connection connect(){
// Load the Connector/J driver
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
} catch (InstantiationException e) {
Alert alert = new Alert(AlertType.ERROR);
alert.setTitle("Error Dialog");
alert.setHeaderText("Error Occured!");
alert.setContentText("Oops, Something went wrong..");
alert.showAndWait();
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
The app works locally i.e jdbc:mysql://localhost/db1
(WAMP) but not online. I added ?autoReconnect=true
at the end of the url but then it gives me this:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: Could not create connection to database server. Attempted reconnect 3 times. Giving up.
