Load web app (servlet on Tomcat) in a remote server

Question

I developed a web application that runs on my computer on localhost. Then I loaded the war file into catalina home on a remote server. Web app runs but it stops when it try to connect to database on server. The connection is a jbdc connection on localhost, the database is mysql. When I do a connection on my computer, no problems occour.

    String connectionString="jdbc:mysql://192.168.0.100:3306/"+request.getSession().getAttribute("dbname"); 
    Connection con=null;
    try {
            try {
                Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
            } catch (InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
                response.sendRedirect("Errore.html");
                return;
            };
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    try {
            con=(Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString,"root","root");
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

The Connection con is null,DriveManager.getConnection doesn't work and I don't know why. I also tried with postgresql connection but the problem is the same. Must I configure something in remote server? The Server is debian 9.2 like my computer.

Answer 1

我认为您需要将连接字符串定义为不是本地主机，而是完整的IP： String connectionString="jdbc:mysql://xx.xx.xx.xx:3306/"+request.getSession().getAttribute("dbname");

Answer 2

Try the following code to test the connection. Its a Maven project.

The pom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    <build>
        <plugins>

                        <manifest>
                            <mainClass>App</mainClass>
                        </manifest>
                    </archive>

                        <descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
                    </descriptorRefs>
                </configuration>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>make-assembly</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>single</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

and the src/main/java/App.java (please replace the connection data)

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;

public class App {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException {
        String host = "localhost";
        String db = "mysql";
        String user = "root";
        String password = "root";
        String connectionString = String.format("jdbc:mysql://%s:3306/%s", host, db);
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionString, user, password);
        System.out.println("Everthing looks alright!");
    }

}

If you compile this project you will get a mavenproject2-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar Upload the JAR to your remote system and try it there

java -jar mavenproject2-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
