[20:59] <MetalnaS> Hi everyone
[21:00] <MetalnaS> I have a java/Mysql/tomcat problem on ubuntu is this an appropriate channel to ask for help ?
[21:01] <nthykier> MetalnaS: Yeah, as long as it isn't programming related
 euuh what seriously ?
[21:03] <nthykier> 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] <nthykier> MetalnaS: If you need help with coding you want to ask in ##java. They know more than we do
 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] <nthykier> MetalnaS: Sure, what error does it give you?
[21:09] <MetalnaS> okay great so here's the error http://pastebin.com/xvkcNd68
[21:11] <nthykier> NullPointer? and you are sure it is not just an unhandled case in your servlet?
[21:12] <MetalnaS> and here's the BD class where the problem seems to occur http://pastebin.com/GuQgwbdn
[21:12] <MetalnaS> I think so   i have no errors in my servlet
[21:13] <MetalnaS> and like i said the same code works fine on windows
[21:13] <nthykier> well, I guess DriverManager.getConnection(...) must be returning NULL in the constructor
[21:15] <nthykier> MetalnaS: Have you tried to use the Driver's connect?
[21:15] <MetalnaS> that's what i thought but i tried everything and i'm sure i'm using the right username and pass ..
[21:16] <nthykier> 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] <nthykier> if that returns NULL, then the driver thinks it is the wrong kind of driver for the database
[21:16] <MetalnaS> okay i'll do this
[22:01] <MalditoFlanders> hello
[22:01] <nthykier> hello
[22:02] <MalditoFlanders> hi
