I\'m trying to connect to a remote MySQL server via SSH in my Java project. How can I integrate SSH connection with JPA?

Answer 1

You can't ... You have to set up external ssh tunel.

ssh -N -f -L 3307:localhost:3306 login@remotwhostwithmysql

Later change connection-url jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3307/yourdatabase
