[Objectbridge-developers] MySQL and OJB-0.5.180

[Hans V. W. <ha...@ix...>]

With the 0.5.155 release of OJB I was able to get the tutorial examples
to run after modifying the size of OID related fields in the sql1.txt
script from 1024 to 255 (did not look at any code to find out what the
consequences might be). The same does not seem to work for the 0.5.180
release:
I made the same modifications to sql1.txt and adjusted the settings in
repository.xml to work with MySQL. Running "build tests" seems to
generate all the necessary tables and gives me the message:
[java]
[java] Connected to jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/test
[java] Driver   Mark Matthews' MySQL Driver
[java] Version  2.0.4
[java]
I therefore assume my jdbc specification in sql1.txt must be correct.
However, running tutorial1 or 2 gives me the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: OJB Error: could not obtain a Connection
        at
ojb.broker.accesslayer.StatementsForClass.getConnection(StatementsForCla
ss.java:119)
I toyed around with the url.ddbalias setting, the user.name and
user.password settings, but other than making things worse (connection
refused), I cannot get it to work. Any ideas? Am I posting this to the
right mailing list?
