Mysql, JDBC, Linux and Access Denied

Question

I have just installed a MySQL Connctor/J 2.0.14 (JDBC) to be able to connect to a MYSQL-database on a Linux-server from a java-program on the same server. But I keep on getting an access-right-error. I would be very thankfull if someone could help me.
From the linux-shell I can connect to the database with mysql:
[root@dat test]# mysql -u speciale -p specialetestDB
But when I try to connect from the Java-program I recieve the following error:
[root@dat test]# java TestDB
SQL-fejl: Invalid authorization specification: Access denied for user: 'speciale@dat' (Using password: YES)
The program Is very simple:
import java.sql.*;
public class TestDB {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://localhost/specialetestDB?user=speciale&password=x");
Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(
"Select Vnavn from VidensElement");
while (resultSet.next())
System.out.println(resultSet.getString("Vnavn"));
statement.close();
connection.close();
catch (SQLException sqlException) {
System.out.println("SQL-fejl: " + sqlException.getMessage());
catch (ClassNotFoundException classNotFoundException) {
System.out.println("Driver ikke fundet: " +
classNotFoundException.getMessage());
catch (Exception instantiationException) {
System.out.println("Driver kan ikke instantieres: " +
instantiationException.getMessage());

Answer 1

the password you have listed as what you use fromthe
shell vs. what you have in yoour code are not the
same. they need to be the same.
other than that make sure you user account in mysqlis
set up to accept connections from wherever you needit
to. Thanks,
The passwords are the same - I just didn't show it in
the copied text. Actually the shell-dialog is:
From the linux-shell I can connect to the database
with mysql:
[root@dat test]# mysql -u speciale -p specialetestDB
password: x
sorry my fault, but it probably was worth checking
But what you said about my user accounts might be the
problem In the mysql.user tabel I have 3 instances of
the "speciale" user, each with a different host: "%",
"dat" and "localhost".
Is that what you ment?
yes. it is possible that the passwords are not the same. so the password for speciale from localhost is not the same as from % or dat. why don't you delete the dat and localhost ones and just leave the % one.
