hey guys I've been trying to connect this jsp site with MySQL database for a school assignment and I just can't seem to get it to work. It's getting really really frustrating because I have copied my friend's code(which does work on his pc) and for some odd reason it just won't work on my pc!(yes i changed the database names/passwords/table names in the code) I'm using Tomcat, MySQL front and MySQL server(same as my classmates). Here's the code: Code: <html> <head><title>Enter to database</title></head> <body> <table> <%@ page import="java.util.*" %> <%@ page import="javax.sql.*" %> <%@ page import="java.sql.*" %> <%@ page import = "java.awt.*" %> <%@ page import = "java.awt.event.*" %> <%@ page import = "java.util.*" %> <%@ page import = "javax.swing.*" %> <% String queryString =null; PreparedStatement statement = null; Connection connection = null; ResultSet myData = null; Object ophalen; try { Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"); connection = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/friends","root", "root"); queryString = "SELECT * from tableoffriends" ; statement = connection.prepareStatement(queryString); myData = statement.executeQuery(); myData.next(); //zet alles in een variable en roep de variable onder op , stayli <%= variable } catch(Exception SQLException) { } %> <%= myData.getString(1) %> <%= myData.getString(2) %> <%= myData.getString(3) %> </body> </html>
