[20:59] Hi everyone [21:00] I have a java/Mysql/tomcat problem on ubuntu is this an appropriate channel to ask for help ? [21:01] MetalnaS: Yeah, as long as it isn't programming related [21:02] : euuh what seriously ? [21:03] MetalnaS: It is the right channel for java/Mysql/tomcat problems on Ubuntu. As long as the problem is not how to write java code using Mysql or tomcat [21:06] MetalnaS: If you need help with coding you want to ask in ##java. They know more than we do [21:06] : hmm my web app is working fine on windows but on ubuntu i have an error when its trying to connect to Mysql so is this good ? [21:07] MetalnaS: Sure, what error does it give you? [21:09] okay great so here's the error http://pastebin.com/xvkcNd68 [21:11] NullPointer? and you are sure it is not just an unhandled case in your servlet? [21:12] and here's the BD class where the problem seems to occur http://pastebin.com/GuQgwbdn [21:12] I think so i have no errors in my servlet [21:13] and like i said the same code works fine on windows [21:13] well, I guess DriverManager.getConnection(...) must be returning NULL in the constructor [21:15] MetalnaS: Have you tried to use the Driver's connect? [21:15] that's what i thought but i tried everything and i'm sure i'm using the right username and pass .. [21:16] Store the return value of Class.forName(this.driver).newInstance(); + use the "connect" method listed here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/Driver.html [21:16] if that returns NULL, then the driver thinks it is the wrong kind of driver for the database [21:16] okay i'll do this [22:01] hello [22:01] hello [22:02] hi === ShNaYkHs_ is now known as ShNaYkHs [22:02] anybody can help me to upload an applet into a SIM Card ? [22:04] I have no clue how that works
