Why is the JDBC Connection URL not connecting to the Google App Engine's Database?

Question

Following is my JDBC Connection URL in a Servlet.

Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://google/liveinbliss?cloudSqlInstance=liveinbliss&socketFactory=com.google.cloud.sql.mysql.SocketFactory&user=root&password=root&useSSL=false", "root", "root");

I tried adding the following dependency, but the error still exists.

<dependency> 
    <groupId>com.github.jnr</groupId> 
    <artifactId>jnr-unixsocket</artifactId> 
    <version>0.22</version> 
</dependency>

The connection URL works well with my localhost but starts giving me an HTTP Error 500, when I try to connect it with the Google app engine's DB.

Following is the error message:-

HTTP ERROR 500
Problem accessing /RegistrationServlet. Reason:

HTTP Error 500 simply states that it's not able to access the servlet, but the error might be something else.

Also, I already have a table on the Google app engine's database, so that is also not throwing this error.

Thank you

This is caused when there is a class file that your code depends on and it is present at compile time but not found at runtime. Look for differences in your build time and runtime classpaths. Check this .
