I disabled Tomcat's security manager and I still see the same results.  
The same exception is being thrown (CommunicationException) with the  
link failure message. I also tried different locations for the MySQL  
connector .jar library to see if I could get any further. I had been  
packaging it within my application .war files so I tried placing it in  
the libarary directories for the JRE and for Tomcat and neither  
produced a different result.
