I am using Eclipse EE IDE and I am using the MySql Connector/J driver. How do I set up a properties file with all the information(DB URL, DBusername,etc) Also I see that you need a DBname and DBurl for the properties file, How do I determine/create this name for the database. I have already looked at the mysql website for this and am still having trouble, if somebody could pleasee help me I would appreciate it.
Solution: I was able to get it working through the plugin available with Eclipse, but I soon realized this limited me with the use of my Tomcat server, so I re organized my directories and set up Tomcat to use with my Eclipse and also be available to other resources.
You should use phpMyAdmin, or MySQL GUI tools for MySQL setup and management
