[JSch-users] using jsch

[Christian A. <ca...@of...>]

Hi there, I ahve a small problem that I thought you could help me with.. 
(I have not tried to look in the archive, because sourceforge seems to 
be in a maintenance mode)

here is my problem...

I'd like to encrypt my databaseconnection to mysql using an ssh-tunnel
the computer that the mysql-server is sitting on only accepts ssh into it.

what I have done earlier (before I found an ssh-2 java library) was to 
us en external ssh2 application to creat this tunnel, but this is much 
work...

after searching the net, I found this ssh 2 library and I thought it was 
  my prayers answered...

however after some attempts with port-forwarding I cannot get it 
working.. I also think I know why, but I'm not sure if it is a 
limitation in java/jsch or the jdbc..

the problem I have is that I'm trying to run jsch and portforwarding 
insie the same jvm as the jdbc is running..

as far as I can see.. running the same code in an external program I can 
use the portforwarding

but whenever I try to run it from within the same jvm..
the driver just sits there trying to connect...

I'm not sure if this is a driver problem, a limitation in the java 
system, or what it is..

can anyone help me?
