Can't make JDBC connection to MySQL (using Java, IntelliJ, and Linux)

I am having issues trying to get a database connection using the code below:

  try {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        Properties p = new Properties();
        p.put("user", user_name);
        p.put("password", password);
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/jsp_test", p);
    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        // handle any errors
        ex.printStackTrace();
        System.out.println("SQLException: " + ex.getMessage());
        System.out.println("SQLState: " + ex.getSQLState());
        System.out.println("VendorError: " + ex.getErrorCode());
        return false;
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();  
    }

The error message that is outputted is:

I've, literally, no idea how to troubleshoot this error message. The database exists. The username and password exists. I've currently not added any tables to the database but I don't think that can be the issue, since I'm only making a connection after all...

I can provide extra information if needs be. I feel like I've tried a lot. Does anybody know any ways of getting further information on how and why it's failing?

Thanks for your help! :)

From your connection string, this database should be on the local machine. Can you try running this command to ensure the socket is open for connections?

telnet 127.0.0.1 3306

and ensure that it connects? You may not have configured your mysql instance to listen for connections from this machine or on this interface address. If the connection fails, you need to modify your mysql config, for example:
