Openshift从本地Java应用程序连接到MySQL

Question

I'm using a scalable app on openshift and I'm trying to access its database from a local app but I am having trouble setting up the connection. I need to access my MySql 5.5 database.

IDE: Netbeans 7.4

I am using the environment variable values for the connection. I have no trouble connecting to it using my JBoss app in Openshift. Any help would be much appreciated. Sorry for the incomplete info. I am new here in SOF.

If you have the rhc client installed (see Client Tools Installation Guide if not), you can have it port forward to the server via rhc port-froward . Use localhost as the Host and port number it tells you, with the user name and password supplied from the application page .

Note this will only work when running locally, and the the rhc command will have to be running as well
