Problem while connecting to MySQL using JDBC

[Neelu]

Hi all,
I have JDK-6 and MySQL Java connector 5.0.5 on my machine. I am working in Linux environment (CentOS). I am trying to connect to MySQL using MySQL conncetor Java, here is my Connection statement :

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/test", "myname", "secret");

But I am getting following exception:
Exception: Error during query: Unexpected Exception: java.io.CharConversionException message given: null

Here is the stack trace :
