access denied when trying to connect to mysql using tomcat datasource
I'm trying to connect locally to mysql 5 server in jsp page using tomcat 6 and datasource. I've configured everything as in the tomcat manual (web.xml, context.xml, etc.), but I get this exception: java.net.SocketException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:3306 connect,resolve) I checked the mysql and there is no problem with the connection itself, in fact I even succeeded connecting using direct JDBC connection (i.e. without using datasource). Do I need to set anything in the tomcat policy file? other ideas? Thanks I found a workaround,
