No connection with password

[Denny Apel]

Hi,

I want to connect to a mysql database with JSP. When I connect as an user without a password, the connection works. When I connect as an user who needs a password I get following error message:

java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure: null

I use:
Apache Tomcat 5.5.4 Server
MySQL 4.0.14
JRE 1.5.0_01

the code:
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
cn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb", "testuser", "test");

I hope someone can help me.

thanks,
Denny
