[Bug 217607] Re: tomcat cannot connect to mysql

[Olray]

Hi Thierry, in the last 2 days I have learned more about Tomcat than ever before. Thanks for your final hint:JDBC4 support was dropped. So I looked for JDBC4 related lines in the config and finally found a suspicious mysql-connector-3.1.10-bin.jar in their lib file. Looks like they have hard-coded that version into their software. I have created a symbolic link to /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-bin.jar with that name and now it works although I haven't tested it enough to call this a solution.
I'm sure this were 7 hours of my lifetime well spent :-)
Thank you!
