Connecting to MySQL using Java

Question

I currently have Spring configured to use HSQL, but I would like to use MySQL. What needs to change?

    </bean>

    <bean name="/user/*.htm" class="uk.co.vinoth.spring.web.UserController" >

    </bean>

</beans>

Answer 1

Change the following properties:

    <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"/>
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/schema"/>

    <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>

(where 'schema' is your mysql database name, assuming your mysql host is 127.0.0.1)

And add the mysql-connector jar to your classpath.

Answer 2

You'd have to change the driverClass and url properties of the DataSource .

driverClass should be com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
url should be jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname

Answer 3

A good example of using mysql with java in spring is detailed on the mysql website

The hibernate should be as noted in the answer by ivy.
