Google cloud platform returning no content

Question

Im making a REST Api using JAX RS and Google Cloud Platform, however when i test the api I get HTTP204 no content returned, I think it could be to do with my database connection but no matter what I change it doesnt fix it

@Override
public Response getAllStaff() {

    ArrayList<StaffInfo> staffArray = new ArrayList<>();
    Response response = null;
    String url = null;

    try {

        if (SystemProperty.environment.value() == SystemProperty.Environment.Value.Production) {
              Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.GoogleDriver").newInstance();
               url = "jdbc:google:mysql://{project-id}:staff-database/staffDatabase";
            }

//          Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
//                  "jdbc:google:mysql://your-project-id:your-instance-    name/database",
//                  "user", "password");

        Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "michael", "password");

        Statement st = conn.createStatement();
        String sql = ("SELECT * FROM StaffTable;");
        ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(sql);


        while(rs.next()){
            staffArray.add(new StaffInfo(rs.getInt(0), 
                    rs.getString(1),
                    rs.getString(2),
                    rs.getString(3),
                    rs.getString(4),
                    rs.getString(5)));
        }

        GenericEntity<ArrayList<StaffInfo>> entity = 
                new GenericEntity<ArrayList<StaffInfo>>(staffArray) {};

                   response = Response.ok(entity).build();
//                     response = Response.ok(entity, MediaType)

                   conn.close();
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        // Could not find the database driver
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        // Could not connect to the database
    } catch (InstantiationException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } 


    return response;
}

I get no error messages just that there is no content returned

Here is what i see on cloud platform sql

and when i click on "staff-database"

Make sure the IP address of the machine from which you are making the call is authorized. You will find it in the "Access Control" tab of Cloud SQL.
