I have an web application that I was trying deployed on a remote windows 2003 server with java6, tomcat6 and mysql5.5. After deploying application when I hit the application url I am getting following error. I did some google and found some link which says to change localhost in connection string to 127.0.0.1 but that did not worked, some link says to check connection string so I created a simple java class on same windows machine to test the connection string, usename and password. When I ran that class it worked fine without any error but when I am running web application which uses same connection string and username and password it is throwing the error. There are also some links which advice to modify my.ini of mysql but I did not find any my.ini in mysql installation directory.
I am not getting any clue to deal with this error so could you please guide me on this. Full stack trace is as below

er has not received any packets from the server.

getStates: Error in database connection
could it be some permission issue?
EDIT:
I also created CLASSPATH variable in system variables and added java\lib and tomcat\lib path in it but still no result.
Sorry friends to put you in effort of looking and answering my question but I found the solution. Actually it is my silly mistake that I have used .properties file for all db and other changeable things and the problem was that I was modifying wrong properties file. It is so embarrassing that I created a mess for simple thing. Anyway thanks a lot that you guys helped.
