Re: A little problem with the JDBC URL

[Mark Matthews]

Yeung,

It looks like you're storing the URL in some XML-based file of some sort. If that's the case, '&' is a reserved character in XML, used to denote the start of entities. If you want to use '&' in XML, you actually need to use '&', so your URL would look something like (note that I've also dropped the 127.0.0.1 and ':3306', as those are defaults anyway):

jdbc:mysql:///pw3?user=test&password=test
