Java - mysql access denied error for user with no password

Question

In command line when I type:

mysql -u ebtam -p 

I see text:

 Enter password: 

When I simply press ENTER, I see the mysql> , so I am successfully logged in without a password.

In Java however when I try:

private static final String DEFAULT_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
private static final String DEFAULT_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ebtam";
private static final String DEFAULT_USERNAME = "ebtam";
private static final String DEFAULT_PASSWORD = "";

I am getting:

java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO)

I know my code is fine because when I try

private static final String DEFAULT_USERNAME = "root";
private static final String DEFAULT_PASSWORD = "myPasswordHere";

Everything works fine..

What is it that I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Pass null as password instead of an empty String. That should make it work.

private static final String DEFAULT_DRIVER = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
private static final String DEFAULT_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ebtam";
private static final String DEFAULT_USERNAME = "ebtam";
private static final String DEFAULT_PASSWORD = null; 

try this it may it will help full for you
