Help! Unable to connect to any hosts

Question

Hi i'm new to jdbc and am having problems when trying to connect to the mysql database (with connectorj), i get the following error:
Unable to connect to any hosts due to exception: java.net.ConnectException Connection refused.
Its looks like the problem is with this line:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://www.thedom.com/db?user=name&password=pass");
My full source is below:
import java.sql.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TestDB
     public static void main(String[] arguments)
          TestDB db = new TestDB();
     TestDB()
          try
               Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://198.64.146.121/vanljab?user=vanljab&password=WsW6S4WD");
               Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
               ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(
               "Select * from vanljab.products where 1");
               while (resultSet.next())
               /*     System.out.print(resultSet.getString("name"));
                    System.out.print(" ");
                    System.out.print(resultSet.getString("time"));
                    System.out.print(" ");
                    System.out.print(resultSet.getString("date"));
                    System.out.print(" ");
                    System.out.print(resultSet.getString("num_of_people"));
                    System.out.println();
               statement.close();
               connection.close();
          catch (SQLException sqlException)
               System.out.println("SQL: " + sqlException.getMessage());
          catch (ClassNotFoundException classNotFoundException)
               System.out.println("Driver not right: " +
               classNotFoundException.getMessage());
          catch (Exception instantiationException)
               System.out.println("Instantiation error: " +
               instantiationException.getMessage());

Answer 1

found the problem, needed to change this line
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://www.thedom.com/db?user=name&password=pass");
to this adding mysql to the domain name
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://mysql.thedom.com/db?user=name&password=pass");
