Re: [Springframework-developer] NEW Petclinic version

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Ken,

I have installed the code, but I am having trouble with the connection pool
while starting up the application.  I have checked everything - username,
password, port.  I can connect using mysql command line tool, but not using this
connection pool.  Tried three different versions of MySQL drivers - older
versions seems to hang the server, while the most recent one gives a connection
error.  I am clueless - any ideas?

This is the error I get:

Apache Tomcat/4.1.10
DBCP borrowObject failed: java.sql.SQLException: Unable to connect to any hosts
due to exception: java.net.BindException: Address already in use

JDBC Driver:
mysql-connector-java-3.0.8-stable-bin.jar

This is the server environment:
Server Version	Apache Tomcat/4.1.10
JVM Version 	1.4.0_02-b02
JVM Vendor 	Sun Microsystems Inc.
OS Name 	Linux 
OS Version 	2.2.20-idepci
OS Arch 	i386
