I am having issues trying to get a database connection using the code below:
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Properties p = new Properties();
p.put("user", user_name);
p.put("password", password);
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/jsp_test", p);
} catch (SQLException ex) {
// handle any errors
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
return false;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The error message that is outputted is:

I've, literally, no idea how to troubleshoot this error message. The database exists. The username and password exists. I've currently not added any tables to the database but I don't think that can be the issue, since I'm only making a connection after all...
I can provide extra information if needs be. I feel like I've tried a lot. Does anybody know any ways of getting further information on how and why it's failing?
Thanks for your help! :)
